I have the persistent notification already. Android lets you remove the notification, so I made it easier for non-savvy people to hide it. I guess I'll take out the easy button, though my competitors all have it.

Also, I'll send an email to EVERY registered account on the device when it is set up, instead of only the one they pick. That will make it even harder to use this for spying on someone who doesn't specifically want to be spied on.

I hope that they'll get their act together on this! With only a $25 one-time barrier to entry, I can understand that they probably have thousands of awful apps being posted all the time. But they should at least show their established developers the respect of working with us before shutting us down.

I did manage to copy all the reviews and store description before it got taken down. Here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SGy3goNVFC7zKWn0Rm10pOMb...
