    From one developer to another. I think you should temporarily remove it from the app store until the API is released and you can make your own improved interface for mobile. The low ratings you're getting while it's up could artificially lower your app's rating even after it improves. I'd also think about rebranding it too to give it a fresh start.

    I'm totally for you putting ads on your final app. Many people love to get things for free, but forget the time and effort required to make these things. And I'm sure most people wouldn't mind you getting a return for the hard work you do. The problem with the ads on the current app is people didn't think it was justified with the webview. I would also not remove the ads, but remove the whole app from the play store while you improve it. (like I mentioned above) If people get used to not having ads they might not like it when you bring back ads after you've done enough work to justify them.

    Lastly I'd make a tribe for your app so you can keep a dialog going with your users. The shitstorm that happened I believe stemmed in part from the lack of communication between the users and yourself. I think this thread is a good example of good transparency and healthy communication.
