Guide To Confession

I started Guide to Confession around the time that the popular Confession app by http://www.littleiapps.com came out for iOS and was getting a lot of press. I saw that there was no Android version of the app, so I thought I would fill that niche. My wife was also going through the process of converting to Catholicism, so it seemed relevant in my life at the time. Before I started on my own app, I had contacted them to see if they were planning on releasing an Android version. I got no response.

This was more or less another database driven app. It was my first attempt at making an app visually appealing. I learned a lot about custom buttons and state drawables.

A few days after I released this app, I got notice from Google that there had been a complaint filed against my app and they were determining if it should be taken down. I also received an email from LittleiApps saying that I stole their app and that the screens and material were identical. They stated that they had gotten specific permission from the Archdiocese where they are and that it was immoral that I did not do the same. They said they were investigating my app and would possibly pursue legal action. I was new at this whole thing so I immediately took my app down and sent them an email stating that I hadn't even downloaded and used their app because I didn't have an iPhone. Therefore, I did not even know what was in their app. A couple of days later, I received another email from them stating that they determined that all the information given in my app was open source and that I had done nothing wrong. I never heard anything from Google.

This is still my most profitable app.
