Yes he does sound stressed out, I have done similarly drastic things when I felt like he does. Going cold turkey is sometimes the only way out.

But saying that "annoying" is a very cold understated way of describing Google's actions.

I'm in awe of the work this guy has put in. Google I would hope amongst their developers would recognise that this is an important useful project.

The developer himself it appears could handle the negative comments but they clearly ground him down [1]:

> The few euros I receive in return for what's being offered and the fun of developing things are no compensation for the thousands of questions I answer every month, for unfair Play store reviews and for stress about unclear Google requirements.

Note: the stress comes from the unclear Google requirements.

If you do have any access to the Play Store (you're one degree of separation closer at least) then please ask them to find out what's going wrong.

FairMail is a really good app.
