What we have done about it
We have written to the publishers concerned asking for corrections, with sources. Where a correction is made we will note the date here rather than remove the row — a list that quietly shrinks is not a list you can check.
What we do not dispute
Not every criticism is wrong. The Android build carries advertising, the app has no kill switch, and our support is email-only. Those are real limitations, they are described on the FAQ and security pages, and we would rather you read them here than discover them later.
