App Store Rejections Again

[*LTD*]

Most consumers could care less if apple is acting like a dictator. They have their apps and their cool iDevice.

Which is all that really matters.

So you have no problem with Apple pulling apps from the app store for no good reason?

I see Apple's point of view on this one.

It's not a simple photo display -- which Apple would probably approve.

Rather it is a photo display with the ability to do widget type tasks.

And that LTD is the sad part. People are like sheep and are following apple because they get their toys, no matter what the cost or how apple acts.

I'd prefer to have the freedom of choice thanks. I do not see Steve Ballmer kicking off at programs like LiteStep or BB4Win. So I do not see why Apple should.

I have no issues with Apple's approval policy but I would hope that Apple would work closely with the app developers to help change a failed app so it passes (i.e. Just failing an app is bad but failing an app and giving the developers a list of needed changes (to pass) isn't.). As long as the developer is given a list of changes they need to make in order get an app passed, I don't see a problem.

This latest rejection really confirms that I made the right choice in not buying an iPad. With the app axe flying, it is likely anything could go for reasons unknown/unexplained, and I'm just not a fan of that.

FAIL. Apple has stated no widget-style apps.

Android is so "open" they even allowed phishing apps from scammers. That's your freedom.

Google is so "open" they don't allow map data to be used for navigation for non-Google devices.

FAIL. Apple has stated no widget-style apps.

FAIL. Apple approved it three times before. In addition, from one of the links in the article:

Well now my experience is different. Our application is being removed for a very murky reason, one which is nowhere to be found in any documentation that Apple give us developers, even worse one which Apple themselves refuse to explain, or put in writing.

If you have proof in Apple's own writing, please provide it.
