Sad news about Hactar Go Lite

Update 2024-07-18: Hactar Go is normally available. Hactar Go Lite is not available to new users, and will never be. Existing users of Hactar Go Lite can use Lite as long as they have it installed.

Update 2024-07-15: Google has reinstated the Hactar. Now Hactar Go can be installed again. For Hactar GO Lite I am not sure yet, I hope it will also be available for new users.

Original:

Google has suspended both Hactar go and Hactar go lite as of 2024-07-12. This means that Hactar is not available from Google Play for new users, and I cannot manage the applications in any way.

Google seems not to approve having essentially same application as free and paid. As result BOTH are now suspended as “repetitive content”.

And impact to users? Those who have existing installation of Hactar can continue to use it, but installing to a new device is not possible. All subscriptions will work until next renewal, but subscription renewals will not happen.

Funny thing is this is that Google instructs me “Action required: Publish a new compliant version of your app”. But they have removed my ability to do any changes to the applications!

If Google does not change their mind about the suspension, Hactar will never be available in Google Play. Also it is highly unlikely that I would publish any new go related application in Google play. Perhaps Hactar may re-appear in some other app store, or be available as side-loadable application. Only time will tell.
