Its not that all the apps on the iPhone get through Apple’s rigorous process of App selections. Apple is reported to be very stubborn in their process and reject apps on reasons that may seem “silly”.
We will look at 5 dumbest apps rejections by Apple (initially) for the iPhone in this two part series.
1. Eucalyptus
2. Convertbot
3. Tweetie
Twitter allows swearing and Apple doesn’t seem to know that. You can have a look at the App Store link and buy it for $2.99.
4. Google Voice + Latitude
Apple says that it is in policy that it cannot let any app remain that mimcs its features and functionality.
Google Latitude which is a map-based social networking service is also missing from the app store. Apple reasons that it will confuse users when they intend to use the Google maps. The truth might be that Apple wants to come up with its own App for social networking which is in works. You can read about that here.
5. Grand Tour 3D
The App was rejected and was resubmitted with necessary changes. You can have a look at App Store link and download it for, yes a $0.99, much less than what Voyager costs 🙂
