Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure from Google Play on the reported Chrome OS, Brunch, Android, and Simplenote versions. Investigate why the app window disappears while its task-bar icon remains, and consider the issue done when the app launches, responds to task-bar actions, and functions like a normal Android app.
