On: Ask HN: got to 33 in the App Store. Now what?

Dang. It's nice to hear you guys say stuff like this. I've gotten a hundred emails per day calling me a crook, a money-grubber, a cheat, and worse. I was starting to doubt myself.

But it did indeed work. I forced a whole lot of those 30,000 Hearts Solo players to upgrade. But at this point, that can't account for all of it. The number of Hearts Solo downloads has peaked, and is trending down. But the number of people buying Hearts Net is still going up.

If your app just randomly stops working, and enough people tell Apple about it, they'll pull the app. It's a violation of the app store terms.

huh. didn't know that. can you show me the relevant sections in the agreement? maybe i can slightly un-cripple it in a way that would comply with their terms.
