I was wondering, do I need to keep DeployGate installed to keep the app or can I just get rid of it?
What can we do?

you could always try removing it now that you have the mal app then test. it shouldnt take long to redownload if you find you need it.

No, DeployGate is just a delivery method for the app. Removing it shouldn't affect the MAL app.

They apparently wanted this restricted to supporters only, hence the jumping through hoops to install the app.

I don't know why they didn't just post it in the play store under a restricted distribution group which would've accomplished the same thing.

But if there is an update to the beta app (for bugs or to add new functions), I'm guessing we wont get it if we have removed DeployGate?

Probably not, but I imagine they'll release another notification email or announcement on this site when there is an update. Hopefully they come up with a better distribution method for the beta app than DeployGate. They could do the same thing through Google Play and a private Google+ distribution group for MAL supporters.

Yeah, I didn't know there had been any updates. But now the app is in open beta, so I just removed it and reinstalled from the Play store. Will be nice to have it kept up with my other stuff without having some third-party app being in the background checking up for it.
