Booty Call
Why?: Sexual content
Apple doesn’t allow any sexual content on their app, but Booty Call didn’t have any sexual content, unless you count tips on hooking up.
Freedom Time
Why?: Making fun of public figures.
As you can tell by the picture in the app, it was probably targeting guys like Bush and politicians. I don’t see why this was a problem. Apparently Steve Jobs sent the app developer a personal email saying it’ll offend half of their customers.
Google Voice
Why?: AT&T told Apple to
This has caused the most controversy among all the rejected apps by Apple. It has led to government inquiries as well as the resignation of an Apple Board Member.
I am Rich
Why?: No reason other than stupidity
This was a dumb app to begin with. It’s just a red gem that glows but cost a whopping $999. Yup, that’s nine hundred and ninety nine dollars. Apple removed it in August 2008, but not before 8 people bought it. I wonder which idiot would such an app. I don’t know why Apple yanked the app. They could have left the app and laughed at the idiots who buy it. They still get 30% of the cut.
Netshare
Why?: No reason but because tethering wasn’t allowed on the iPhone.
This was a wonderful app that allowed tethering, something many iPhone users were clamoring for. Unfortunately AT&T pressure Apple to remove the app because it was taxing their network. Tethering is coming soon to the iPhone some this year.
Slasher
Why?: Offensive
Looks like a virtual app can increase crime. At least that’s what folks in UK were worried about when the slasher app. The app had a picture of a knife and when shaken it plays the Psycho theme.
