Why is everyone saying "hurry and download it before Apple removes it"? Apple approved it. That's how it got added to the store in the first place.

The reviewers sometimes don't even review apps like they're supposed to. Things do slip through the cracks you know..

As Steve once said, “We're not perfect. We know that, you know that”

Apple also approved the 10k (or whatever it was) diamont app and also a teathering app that apparently worked but dissapeared within in hour. There were a few.

This probably got missed by the bouncers at the door... I'm sure someone at iOS central will notice and it'll soon get removed.

Downloading as I type...

Because they will soon remove it, I'd bet. As they have done to countless other apps they had approved: Bluetooth On/Off, various tethering apps, most game / platform emulators (iDOS, Gridlee etc.)

You clearly do not understand how Apple operates... Also can you please tell me why Apple would intentionally allow users to disable all iAds, which is a massive stream of revenue for both Apple and developers?

Just because it was originally approved by Apple does not mean that they need to always allow it in the store. They can easily remove it and once it's gone, it's gone.

Such silliness...

If those apps bother you that much, just park them all on the final page of your icons--and never go there!

HOW do these pass the app store "evaluators"? LOL, the title alone is a dead give away.

I think this one was done pretty simple with a "remote" switch, once approved he changes a 0 to a 1 on a server script and hey more features.

Downloaded, but it seems like a real hack job. First two things I tried, it wanted to download additional apps. (one, it said, would fail to install and thus disable all iAds - seems very suspect. There's better things from Cydia)
