A Google spokesperson confirmed that the app had been suspended from the Play Store since it violated its Spam and Minimum Functionality policy.
“Apps that crash, exhibit other behaviour that is not consistent with functional user experience, or that serve only to spam users or Google Play are not apps that expand the catalogue in a meaningful way,” it states.
