Why is Netgear WiFi Analytics app removed from Google Play Store?

Can someone from Netgear please tell me why the Android-based Netgear WiFi Analytics app seems to have been removed from the Google Play Store? This is a very useful app for checking WiFi signal strengths, viewing channels used by both 2.4 and 5GHz signals, checking for over-subscribed channels, and graphing signal strengths from multiple sources over time to see how they fluctuate. Have the functions in this app been fully replicated in another Netgear app?

 

If anyone would still like to be able to obtain this app, please hit the Kudos button below - it seems that the Netgear Support Team keep an eye on the posts with high Kudos ratings. Thanks for your help :smileywink:

 

Here are some screen shots (I've obscured MAC addresses and SSIDs).

Channel Graph showing 5GHz channels
