Couldn't find it on the Play store by searching for the name and the developer's name: if it is not just me then your app is very hard to discover.

So I am installing it through the link you provided, which directed me to a "install success" page saying "your purchase is successful" even if your app is free. Another obstacle to adoption :-)

Last, I was not informed on the page of the app' size. Seeing what it does and the time it takes to download I am afraid it could be huge? Third obstacle :-)

For me, searching for "whistle" on play store, I get the app as the third result (ignoring sponsored crap). Searching for "blazingbanana" gets me the app as the first result".

App info shows 218MB size, which I suppose is about what I'd expect for a model+app code :shrug:

Good to know, it's hard to know what real users would see in the play store and not Google just showing you what you want. Thank you for checking it out
