Yeah it was my idea but he supported it, and pretty much wanted to help me prove that it wasn't my appearance, just shitty apps. He said he had a bunch of clients that were in the same boat as me. I work in IT and do programming on the side, so I have an insight into how these things work, and of course if you actually find someone the app loses your business, which is bad for them, so it's beneficial for them to string you along.
