I didn't realize this is an active project that happens recently until you reply. It looks nice but in a 2 year ago way. You demo is in iOS6, that is so ancient. I would immediately get turned away by it
I would say if you apply for big companies, it probably doesn't matter. The people who hire you are also employee. But startup may hold that against you, if they aren't very good companies. Also what you can do is to write an article about why you choose to testify, to huffpost blog or similar blogs (it is actually quite easy to write a blog there, especially with your story), then when people search, they hear the real story about you, not just a media coverage of the case.
i truly hope if they say a date, they can send it out first thing in that day's morning. it is more rational to do that instead of dragging this all day. Or instead say a specific time. There really seems no reason to drag this.
