Ignore the people calling you malware here. They’re just Apple fanboys who have never tried to run a business before.
Your app sounds like it offers real value and is actually innovating. Apple is destroying your business at their discretion, for seemingly no reason.
Have you consulted with any lawyers? If they’re suspending your account without any cause, I think that counts as a breach of contract on their end. And if there were are a lot of competitors popping up in the past 2.5 years, you could potentially even calculate some hefty damages beyond just the $99/year Apple tax.
I appreciate this. Thank you. I'm sorry you were down voted at my defense.
> Your app sounds like it offers real value and is actually innovating. Apple is destroying your business at their discretion, for seemingly no reason. People really get fired up about apps like this, but few people can say they've built software that has saved marriages and helped parents to raise their children. I honestly can and am honored and grateful to be able to do it.
I have not yet consulted lawyers on it. That's one of the next steps I'd been considering if I can't make "going public" helpful.
They weren't downvoted for your defense; they were downvoted for belittling everyone else on the thread, which is straightforwardly against the HN guidelines, which you can read via the link at the bottom of the page.
I see a lot of people here who are critical of the app you're trying to sell but also doing their best to be helpful. If you're looking for a cheering section, you're probably not going to find it here; you asked a question in your post, and it is being answered, thoughtfully and thoroughly.
Malware definition: software that is specifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system.
Truple doesn't do that.

Also, this is not really a forum full of “Apple Fanboys”. People are regularly and vocally critical of Apple’s decisions here.
Arguably defending Apple’s App Store policies is the controversial take on this forum.
