Brand, let me make something very clear to you, I am not mistaken at all. I have no access to the store in your country and I am only reporting what the developer told me. Now if you have a problem, with locating the app in the store, I suggest you send Marcel an e-mail to [email protected] and inform him he is mistaken. If you choose to take some other route to obtain the software, that is your option, but again, I can only provide you information that is available to me.
