Here is another one, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imagetopdf.createpdf (X)

I have reported these applications on google and didn't receive any reply. Does anybody have any idea what else can I do?

Correct me, If wrong!

I think we can't do anything for these copies. Because in the preamble of GPL v3 licence it is stated that

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

What we can do is to make this original app better so that it automatically stands out from crowed. If there is original and free app then why people will pay for another paid copy same app.

This already happens. But do you think they are just going to leave their version the same when the source code for the new improved version i'd freely available?

They have to be forced to publish their source code. Then people will realize that it's open source.
