Well, why has the dev not submitted the official version? That would have fixed that problem.

Would it? This would’ve been released with a different name. App Store, Play Store, or no store, people love to take OSS projects, wrap them in ads, and release them to make a buck.

Sure, but then the official one would also be there and hopefully have a better rating and more popularity

[–] simplejack 2 points 2 months ago

Good point.

That said, the reasons the developer hasn’t released this for the App Store is because he’s a small independent developer and has been trying to ship another project.

He wants to release it in his own app marketplace

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

To be honest, I support his own app marketplace completely. But I still don’t understand why he doesn’t want to have it on the Apple AppStore as well.
