I have lost an app, do you know it?

Hello guys, before to start I want say that as first post on a forum, this is the weirdest ever written and I know you could look it as silly but I am really going mad for this thing.
I hope to not break any rule, believe me I do not want advertise any app. All the images are posted to help understand my problem. If I am breaking rules, remove them and forgive me, sorry.

Let's go.
I follow sites publishing when an app is gone free, and doing so my collection is pretty filled of good stuff.
I only download selected items (just to say I do not collect trash or I am not the person that install/uninstall repeatly) but anyway before to install anything on the new phone I test those apps on an old one.
Well some days ago I installed a wallpapers collection (an app category I do not care much honestly) but I hadn't time to test it.
Yesterday I opened it and I have to say I liked it, very good wallpapers. Just downloaded one of them to try.

After that I had to hard reset that phone (it was already planned from days but no time to do before) and before to do that I did some screenshots of the drawer to repeat it after the reset.
Well again, here is the problem, I wanted to download again that app..... but I can't find it again among all the apps I own. I have apparently checked all my app, searching app by app and with ctrl+f of the browser, but the app is misteriously gone.

I only have the icon in the screenshot, a part of the name (unfortunately the rest is cut due to space in the drawer, the backupped folder created yesterday from the app in the memory, and the downloaded wallpaper.

The name seems to be HD wallpapers according to the backup folder and the screenshot, but in my collection and on play store catalogue there is a different app with this name with a different icon.
According to the icon of the screenshot the app could be The Wall - Wallpapers and Backgrounds but if I download it, it crashes at the startup and before to do its menu looks different so probably the icon is a copy, probably one of them wanted to appear like the one, I really don't know.(anyway looking better the icons look different for some little particulars)
The app was in the store yesterday, because I downloaded one just before the reset, so it is excluded it has been removed I guess.
What do you think about? What makes me mad is not to have lost a wallpaper app, but to have lost an app, I feel like I have dreamed something, but it is not, I have the screenshot. How can you miss an app from the store? Really weird.

Thak you a lot, anyway only to have read this message. :D

Thank you guys, I agree with you, probably there is not a different explanation, but it's happened yesterday.
The time from the screenshot to the fresh installations is 30 minutes. It could look absurd but probably I opened this app just before its removal from the store. :thinking:o_O
 
Hello, forgive me for this new post instead to edit the previous.
Checking again the store yesterday I noticed a part where there is the chronology of the items I have bought (even free items are listed as 0,00€).

If an app is removed from the store, is it removed from the chronology as well? It seems to be disappeared also from there anyway. :thinking:

A) Don't worry about the new post. They don't cost anything plus the new post alerts those of us following that there is something new in the thread. :)

B) Yes, if it was pulled from Play, it disappears from your "My Apps" list.
 
i find lots on aptoid and uptodown,
you may check those places, but it's a crap shoot.
