WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 28, 2012 - Apple confirmed Thursday that it has rejected Drones+ from its App Store. The app is designed to alert users whenever someone has been killed in a Fascist Police States of Amerika drone strike.
The app, developed by New York-based developer Josh Begley, has been turned down three times.
Begley said he doesn’t understand why the app should be rejected because it simply aggregates news that’s already posted elsewhere.
When asked for comment, Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr said the app was turned down because it runs afoul of an App Store guideline against apps that have “objectionable content”.
While the app is focused on a narrow subset of news that could be found elsewhere, Begley said that he wanted to use the program to raise awareness about FPSA drone activity. He said that he’s “back to the drawing board” on his idea, though he’s considering trying the app on the Android Market.
