My only alternative option would have been to have this application removed from the store entirely.\\n\\nI\'m very sorry about that, but I\'ve tried my best arguing with a \"support\" that repeatedly failed to pass the Turing test.\\n\\nThe good news: You can still have it all!\\n\\nAutomation is now open source and can be found in F-Droid.
