https://web.archive.org/web/20190424203239/https://truple.io... is the landing page when the original version of the app was submitted for notarization. Since you're digging into the ad copy, we might as well be looking at the appropriate website.
It's not two stories... I include customer reviews on my landing page that show spouses, individuals, and parents feedback because all benefit from it.
The Google Play app description is adjusted to be more in alignment with Google Play Developer Agreement policies.
To clarify, keeping Google, Apple, and everyone else happy with the wording in the marketing seems to demand walking a razers edge. I've done my best to comply appropriately for each platform. It's a disservice to the conversation for you to pull in the Google Play listing, make accusations about me/Truple as a result, and not have the full picture. I've shared more in this post than I originally cared to in order to provide the bigger picture. I'm not trying to hide anything here, but there are reasons other than malicious intent for why things are worded the way they are and instead of leaping to those conclusions you could instead ask why.
I am deeply concerned by the mind games you are playing here.
It is 100% 2 stories. Over and over again here you are saying "personal accountability" or similar. Which on paper is fine. If you really truly voluntarily want to do this... great!
But do you not understand while personal accountability fine... your marketing is calling out spouses and parents reviews! Nothing about either of those being there says personal accountability. if you truly actually believed in personal accountability you could only show reviews from them, not from others!
To clarify. If my spouse is the one that thinks that this app "saved my marriage" as your reviews really like to say. There is something... very very wrong. If I feel the need to review it because I felt like I needed help. That is fine! Do you see the difference?!?
There is no razors edge here, your app violates nearly every standard Apple uses to distinguish itself from its competitors... privacy, security, safety. Why are you playing victim and getting offended when people point out the obvious? Were you just hoping for answers that blamed Apple?
I'm in the minority but I'd rather apple not censor my apps (unless they are malware).
It not being censored. Simply creating an app doesn't afford you the privilege of hosting on the app store.
