Just hour after we wrote aboutTits & Boobies and Pussy Lovers , Apple removed the apps , and called the developer . Basically , if he desire to write Tits & Boobies , he has to put substantial nipple in it . Here ’s what happened :
https://gizmodo.com/apple-approves-tits-boobies-and-pussy-lovers-apps-5436238
I am the developer of Tits & Boobies and Pussy Lovers .
I receive a call from someone at Apple and he say that the apps were being off from the computer storage as they were deemed inappropriate for the iTunes Store . Although I did not ask him if they received complaint , upon inquiring about what it was that was out or keeping about the apps , I was severalise that the title did not agree the content and was asked to alter the title and the “ Education ” category . I asked him if I could change the content or else , as there were other likewise named apps on the store , and puzzle back something that equate to a maybe ( though he did specifically say that they were n’t expect me to put pictures of Vaginas in the Pussy Lovers app ) .
fundamentally my sympathy is that it is okay to sell an app on the shop called Tits and Boobies as long as it has picture of fair sex ’s breasts ( the more common meaning of those words ) but it is not okay to sell a funny app call Tits and Boobies that has delineation of snort in it . Those apps are quite pop with combined over 300,000 downloads and most people we have show them to get a laugh out of them and use them to play pranks on admirer .
From a developer ’s perspective , we just want some body and more communicating in the mode the apps are review and boast on the iTunes Store . Our Kamasutra applications programme was initially reject twice for containing inappropriate content even though it was give away 17 + . Recently we come upon other likewise themed apps on Sexual Positions in the computer storage and re - subject and it was approve this time around . When where the policies in the storage alter and why were we not inform so that we had an opportunity to resubmit our app .
This is a Modern twist to the old Apple iPhone app rejection story . This time it is not the subject matter , but the “ mismatch ” between championship and rated K content , even while the schoolbook is technically exact . They have to change the capacity — although no vaginas would be ever let in the iPhone — or change the titles and categories . And there ’s no path around that .
I can see Apple ’s side of the story : The form of address and descriptions may be correct , but obviously design to be misleading . Even while there is no real harm if someone cause the misapprehension — the applications were barren — it set a precedent .
But Samir has a point too . The apps are harmless , the description are technically precise , and the content is completely sporting and clever for people of any years . Yet , other apps with the same description , and full of potentially conflictive content — at the public telling level — are useable for leverage in the store .
At the end , the fact is that the rules are still puzzling . The apps were okay for the Education class after the title were censored by Apple . So I guess that there was an active movement to prove the app , understand what it does , and approve it according to whatever guidelines the iTunes Store multitude use . So why take it down ? Just because it got publish in Gizmodo and it was put under the limelight ? Was it just a mistake on the commendation level ? Or did Apple make this fresh rule afterthe article , to invalidate a public relation job ?
Whatever it is , one thing is clear to me : Nobody is ever go to be happy with this process , which I ’m afraid will remain frail forever.—Jesús Díaz
