Just an observation, though perhaps not that useful for you....

This is exactly what trademarks are intended to address.

A suitable threatening letter MIGHT have some small chance of
working.  Taking the step of registering your trademark might even be
worthwhile.

But actually getting him to stop might require actual legal action. Do
you think you could recover your costs in that event? Seems doubtful
to me. Is your app successful enough to justify (to yourself) paying
out-of-pocket to stop him?

Good luck. Getting Google to help would seem to me to be your best
hope.
