Rather than anything nefarious, I bet this is because the app's name: bitchat includes the word "bitch.". In fact, from now on I'm going to call it " bitch-at" (the name is actually pretty good....)
you must be kidding me right @GooglePlay? do you have any actual rules for publishing apps? your communication with developers is beyond any professional standards.after weeks of complying with their requests, now they've decided to remove "bitchat" for profanity! PROFANITY!The bitchat @Google play store saga so far:
- first they publish an impersonator app which got over 100k downloads
- dozens of reports for impersonation didn't help, only after causing a shitstorm on X things actually started moving
- I tried to submit the real bitchat app 5 times, don't even get me started on "you need 12 testers for 2 weeks before you can publish anything"
- my app gets rejected for "copyright" – DUDE I'M THE COPYRIGHT OWNER
- nothing working, no reply on appeals for a week until I cause another shitstorm on X, finally things are moving again
- I resubmit the app, following their instructions exactly, thinking finally we've covered all their requirements
- now I get a rejection because of PROFANITY. seriously? what about the numerous impersonators and all the other "bitchat" knockoffs you publish on the store... to this date?
this is the worst experience I've ever had. without a sizable following on X, how would I ever had progressed at this at all? do you need friends at Google to publish an app?
