Hi, I notice that you in your readme you post something incoherent with the license you have chosen.
However your intention is good, it still violates the license.

License in a nutshell
Under the GNU General Public License, you can work on the app and share it

{
as long as you don't charge anything. I kept DestroyTwitter free over the past few years and so should you.

} : this is the problematic part, since GPL explicitly contains a section addressing it, in section 4,

  1. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

    You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
    receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
    appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
    keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
    non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
    keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
    recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

{
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
} more specifically.

Thank you for such great app, and hopefully you will remain it GPL and fix this minor nuance.
