woo hoo a chance for digital sleuthing.

Lets see.. looking at App Annie News category US store, I see Scanner911 Police Radio Pro listed in the top ten going back for a while. And it is gone as of two days ago.

http://goo.gl/Nk35oJ this article from 2009 mentions that Matthew Pease was the author of Scanner911.

Scanner 911 then? Is that you Matthew Pease?

Hmm I don't see the point of doing this.

Anyways. We are just trying to find out if anyone else has had this happen.

And when it happened, did the app disappear entirely from just rankings, or entirely.. from rankings & search.

Ours can still be located via search, but not by any ranking.
