For some inexplicable reason, Android fans threw a fit over the release of Apple’s Move to iOS app earlier this week. The app simply helps Android users migrate contacts, photos, messages, bookmarks and more from their device to an iPhone or iPad, but some diehards saw it as in intrusion on their home turf.

Now they have an app to download in response.

As pointed out by 9to5Google earlier today, a developer by the name of Jonatthias released an app called Stick with Android on the Google Play store on Thursday. Here’s the app’s description:

“Everything about Android is designed to be easy. That includes sticking with it. With just one step, you can keep your content automatically and securely on your Android device with the Stay on Android app. No need to save your stuff elsewhere before staying on Android. The Stay on Android app securely keeps you away from switching to another (worse) platform.”

In fact, the app is so simple that it only contains a single button, one which reads “Click here to stick with Android.” Once you click it, your phone will magically stay an Android phone, and you can keep clicking without any threat of iOS invading your life.

The reviews are far more positive for Stick with Android than they were for Move to iOS, with the average currently sitting at 4.9/5.

Take that, Apple.
