Can they put it on f-droid and point their users there? Downside is that users don't know what f-droid is and have to install it, upside is they find a new "app store" that has some new techy things on it. Not sure if f-droid gets around having to tell your phone it can run third-party apps, but if it does that would be a win as well.
I didn't see in the post if they sell this or give it away.

I built a very simple websocket based app and there was not only support for "you need a long lived TCP connection and occasionally might need to read from it" but "you need background services that might depend on the state of the radio" and more. Honestly it was an absolute dream to develop for, and it's a damn shame upper management seems to have had a fit that they weren't winning out of the gate.
