Based on your previous post about floods, I would strongly urge you to rework your app into a single app, remove ALL the 120+ apps you have on the market and republish a single app that makes use of server side data for the location issue you are facing. As several said in your other post, your design is fundamentally flawed and thus causing you this rather embarassing issue of trying to maintain all those apps that are basically identical with the exception of the location specific data each app has to contain.
Also, something to think about.. I came across an app the other day that had one version for each language it supported. There were about 20 of them. The english version had a few downloads, the rest had none. You are basically asking your end users to sift through 120 or so apps of yours to find the one that best fits them. That is a horrible design/idea. I personally would give up if it wasn't the first few on the list. Think of your end users.. what you are putting them thru by telling them to basically go search for the specific version of your app they need for their area. Even if they can search on your app name and enter their area.. to have to specifically search with my location to find the right app.. if it even comes up..is ridiculous. Seriously, I am not sure how you have coded your app to access the location data.. but I bet a few days.. a week at most, you could rewrite that portion to download the data from a server, and load it in as needed. You would do your end users a big favor, yourself a huge favor avoiding the issue you now face, and the community/market a massive favor by not seeing your app yet again on the Just in list 120 times. I honestly am surprised your app has not been banned due to the floods. I mean no disrespect, like I said in your other post, you may be a very good developer and your app may be flawless.. but this one issue is plaguging you, your end users and the rest of the community all at once. Fix it.. do the right thing. You'll be a lot happier as will the rest of the end users and those complaining of the flooding for good reason.
