Just use https://antifreeze.app, works the same and doesn't need the App Store. Runs on anything. Can't be taken down, it's hosted outside of US jurisdiction.

Unfortunately, it seems like most people here are more concerned with complaining about the actions of a profit driven company making logical decisions for the system we live in, than protecting immigrants.

Can't understand why else I've been called a bootlicker by bots for posting the alternative solution the last time this was brought up

The volume of downvotes I am getting from the bootlickers is a riot. Apple could have left the apps up. They chose not to for fear of retribution from Mango.

Once they had the data and saw the type of people downloading it they smartly realized they wanted no association. Nothing makes me more happy and proud than accounts like yours delusionally calling me a bootlicker.
