So apparently, Ping.fm thinks that my app's icon/logo QuickPing, looks like Ping.fm's logo.My app's logo:
Ping.fm's logo:
The font of my Ping logo is Helvetica, the most common font in the whole world. I like Helvetica, and I use it for most of my work. They were telling me that I copied Ping.fm's logo. Ludicrous.
Since I am just an individual, independent developer, I agreed and changed the app logo from Ping to a simple P, as shown below:
And submitted the change to Apple, both for QuickPing and QuickPing Free.
I thought everything was fine, until I received a new note from Ping.fm:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail below.
We noticed that changes were made to the app entitled "QuickPing Free" (see, e.g., the logo).
We would very much appreciate it if you can inform the developer that if similar changes were to be made to the app entitled "QuickPing" and also using a lower-case "p" to read "Quickping" in the name and the description for both apps then that would be in the right direction to help resolve this matter.
If that's the case, did Ping.fm also complain to the Apple about these following apps? Why haven't they changed their names?
Pingle
Ping! Lite
PING
Network Ping Lite
Network Ping
ping
SuperPing
FreePing
Ping For Fun
Ping Later
Ping'N'Drive
This is really stupid. I'm a fan of Ping.fm and all (and that's why I made the app), but this is ridiculous.

Hey, didn't know where else to give feedback about your QuickPing app. I like it's layout and how it interfaces with ping.fm, but why doesn't it sync my posting groups that I have set up in my ping.fm account? Will there be an update for this? I want to post to several networks at once, but not every one of them all the time. Hoping for such an update!
