mobile or Companion ?!

My original plan was, when the mobile UI is out :
- Update the description and tell the app is obsolete
- Link to the new application
- When user install count decreases (say below 100, instead of 1200 today),
remove the application from the Play Store

Do you prefer to remove it on subsurface-mobile release ?
