Appeal Rejected: Google Removed (ad-free) Mommy Saver Plus for “Deceptive Ads”

(UPDATE: Mommy Saver Plus has been reinstated!  This after I posted this on HN, tweeted at them, and sent a slightly-too-passive-aggressive email response.)

Yesterday, the Google Play team mistook Mommy Saver Plus for another app and removed it from the app store. (http://www.purpleleafsoftware.com/2019/03/google-removed-mommy-saver-plus-for.html)

I filled in the little textbox to make an appeal.

Today, I got an update:

Clearly, the reviewer either did not read or did not understand my two-sentence appeal.

It’s possible my words weren’t clear enough and the reviewer didn’t have enough time to understand them.  I wrote something very close to “Mommy Saver Plus was removed for ‘deceptive ads’ which is a little silly because there is no ads in the app.  The attached screenshots have nothing to do with Mommy Saver Plus.”

This part scares me:

“… repeated violations can result in the suspension of this app or your Google Play Developer account.”

I don’t dare re-submit the same app, at least not with the same package.  I’ll probably tweak it a little bit and then re-submit it under a different package… after I back up all my google data, just in case.

Until then, the links to upgrade from the free version will continue to 404.
