@redpandacan Thank you for the comment. I am not familiar with this product but you are right, it is extremely similar. I will be adjusting my icon. Thanks.
@dlprice0610 this is great - now u have a big opportunity to fail forward. Major companies rebound from eggs on their faces all the time. Try reaching out to the napkin.io founder(s) to have them post something for you as an accepted apology since you all aren't direct competitors. Lots of ways to win here - and for whatever it's worth, I like your product and humble response to this pickle you're in! Lol! You got this bro! U know what, I like it (and this debacle) so much, I'm purchasing the app. Don't let me down! (No pressure)
@stephenalan@dlprice0610 I couldn't agree more. To me, it's obvious that this was a blunder that was caused because of poor research, not malice. Dave is also being very nice and apologetic about it. I can only imagine how it must have felt for the product to be listed on PH and him finding a stream of accusatory messages when he came to check the messages out.
@antonis_tsagari@stephenalan Thank you for your support Antonis. I am doing everything I can to remedy the situation. I have reached out to the recipe app napkin team and updated the icon on PH. App store will be updated in a few days when a new build is submitted. Thanks.
@dlprice0610
Any plans for an Android release?
p.s. Don't let the logo mishap shake you up. It's clearly an oversight; not malice. We all make mistakes. Who spends countless hours on an app only to steal a logo? That's like running 26 miles of a marathon and taking a car the last 385 yards across the crowded finish line. @stephenalan has some great advice. Find a way to turn it into a positive!
@cpaprogrammer@stephenalan Hi Chris, thanks for the support! I'm starting off with an iOS version and if popular enough, I will create an app for Android. But no immediate plans. Thanks!
@dlprice0610 Given you posted this into a forum of people who live and breath their ideas and products, posting yours that contains a very blatant rip off of someone else's hard work is truly poor and in my opinion goes against what this community promotes and is for. I suggest you very quickly change your logo and name, and publicly apologise for this.
@dylankbuckley Thank you for your post. I was not aware the recipe product with the a similar logo, let alone a similar name. It is a huge oversight to say the least. I will be updating my icon immediately. Thank you.
