Paid App Missing from Market

[Braneless]

I had paid for a digital/analog clock (called RealDark or something like that) a month or two ago, but it has disappeared.

It's no longer listed in my paid apps and no combination of search terms can locate it. I googled the app name and found that it was pulled from an alternative android market as well.

Anyone know why an app that you've paid for can simply be made unavailable to a customer?!

Apps unpublished by a developer remain on the Market servers for users who have already paid to download as well as licensing.

However, if the app was legitimately pulled (not unpublished) for a violation of TOS or DMCA style take down request it would not be available.

It was just a clock, from a prolific, highly-rated developer. What gives?

contact the developer.

Couldn't find the developer either - his name was Eodyumbel or something like that. He created a lot of Go Launcher themes, add-ons, etc.

Dammit.

Search your gmail for the confirmation email you received when you bought the app originally. The developers info and email address should be there.

Good thinking. Hopefully it's not one of the very few emails that I've deleted. I typically board emails, so I should have it.

Found my receipt, emailed the developer. All of his apps are gone from the market.

Out of curiosity, what was the app and who was the developer?

It was called something like RealDark digital analog clock. The dev went by Eodyumbel, or something similar.

It's just a clock, but it pisses me off because I paid real money for it ($1 or $2). What if it'd been SPB Shell or something pricey??

I probably do have a backup on the pc. This is a newer phone and I don't like restoring apps from Ti backups - I'll do it in a pinch, but I prefer to install fresh from the market since I switch roms so often.

If it wasnt removed by the dev, i advise using "market-enabler" from the market, to fake anouther country/provider and then find your app. I had the same problem with a railway-app.
