So if down detector is being shut down, why is it still in the App Store?

So if this app is going away, why are we being told to download speed test, sign in and get an account, and then use that particular app to monitor favorite sites about outages and other things? I’m a little confused. Obviously this app is still here so apparently you must still be doing updates to it. I will say that you cannot favorite websites that you’re having problems with and as I’ve said in my last review, accessibility needs to be looked at. I would like an email address to discuss this if at all possible.

Please don’t shut it down!

Used this for years, very helpful information, but is claims to be shutting down (idk when but its been saying that for a while). The suggested Speedtest app is frustrating to use, and is just not user friendly like this classic Downdetector app is.
