967279 - [Marketplace] Duplicate "Notes" app listed

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Ralph Daub [:rdaub]]

Hi,

There are currently 2 "Notes" app in the Marketplace. The outdated version should be removed or hidden:

[1] "Notes+" app with developer listed as Everything.me. This app provides sync capabilities with Evernote.
https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/notesplus 

[2] "Notes" app with developer listed as DoAT. This is also developed by Everything.me. It is an outdated version of [1] and should probably be removed from the Marketplace.
https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/notes 

Please let me know if there are any questions, comments, or concerns.

Thanks!!
- Ralph

The developer (e.me) should delist the appropriate app from the Marketplace from https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/app/notesplus/status or https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/app/notes/status

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the clarification. 

Do we have any contacts from E.me, to get them to delist the appropriate app?

Not sure; I'd work with Adora or someone to figure that out.

The Notes app is being transitioned from E.me to Dylan Oliver on the gaia team.

I don't remember the exact reasons, but I think Notes+ is incompatible with older versions of FxOS.  If both versions are still supported, it would be good if the app descriptions made it clear what the differences are and who the intended audience is.

That's correct Lisa. Only from Gecko 26 (I think) is it possible to complete the auth process with Evernote, which is a Notes+ feature.

I updated the Notes listing to reflect that there is a newer app for those on v1.2 and greater.

We'll be adding backward compatibility to Notes+ soon and anticipate that we will delist the original app at that time.

If the developer could alter those apps, as per the last comment, that would be awesome. But there's nothing specific for Marketplace developers to do here.

The Notes+ app is now hidden in Marketplace and all relevant functionality has been added to the original Notes.
