The "Get it on Google Play" badge is much lower resolution/quality than the Apple one, it looks pixelated and they seem to be sized differently.

Edit: The screenshots you're using in the app stores, you've chosen white text on a white gradient background?? Why??

Also, does this really need ads? No offense, but how much will this possibly bring in vs turning users away from a potentially useful app? I personally am not downloading it because of this.

Hi mcsniff, Thanks for your feedback.

The badges are both from the official communication and they seem to have roughly the same resolution, but I do agree that they are sized differently.

About the white text that's a good point lol. We wanted something light, what would you recommend to stay in this palette ?

Finally, regarding ads, we totally understand the repulsion that one might have towards ads, but in this case there are only a couple banners at the bottom of 3 pages. We made sure that they do not bother the user in any way. No videos to watch, no ads that would cover the entire screen, only two little banners at the very bottom.

Thanks again :)
