Incredibly insensitive product naming. I’m guessing the software authors don’t have children and don’t have multiple friends and family who’s lives have been destroyed by meth. Instead it’s just a bro having cool fun with words “hey keeps your computer awake! Get it? Ha! So clever!”

Please go and read the post. Especially the following section: https://github.com/x74353/SaveAmphetamine#what-arguments-can...
The App is named Amphetamine and not Meth which imho is a big difference.
That's very silly. The times are ready for a new job title: software product namer, to make sure a name won't offend anyone or violate trademarks and store guidelines.
The developer uses Github but I cannot see source code, only compiled binaries.
Next, some app named Nitrogen will be banned because it is related to explosives and therefore to terrorists.
Amphetamine on the other hand has only one very well defined use case.
I get the reference to another similar app (Caffeine) but this is a step too far, indeed portraying a dangerous drug in a positive light.
Huge fan of Amphetamine(the app) but its Apple’s walled garden. This nonsense is a consequence.

Maybe they have a child with ADHD whose life was saved by amphetamines?
Not bad for a night out although not really to my taste.
