They're going to have the same problem as Facebook Home. They're essentially doing an overlay activity like most of us do. It only works as they describe provided the user keeps the device unlocked in the system. You can't by

Our next app has that potential. We are thinking multi-platform, but it's very limited on iOS so not sure how well it will go.

We're Android first. Exclusive actually. Barrier to entry is almost zero and none of the time-wasting finger-crossing hurdles you describe. We're self-sustaining with a top ten paid app and about to release another exclusive that

I'm sure you're equally happy getting Viagra spam in your inbox, because everyone likes sex. The core issue is it breaks a core UI convention, clicking back and stopping at the beginning, just to push a few more people into a shop
