And what a strange name. Why is “shoot” treated like an expletive? I’m actually not even sure I’m parsing the name correctly.

Shoot! is a common substitute for other, more abrasive expletives (Shit! Fuck!). I'd much rather have the former in a business/service name!

Interestingly, the Android package name is indeed com.shitismoke.app

Right, but the point of using it is not to have to blank it out in form like this brand does. It would be like putting heck as hk.
