iPhone App Store Rejects Find a New Home

Posted by kdawson on from the huddled-masses dept.

eldavojohn writes "A new site called App Rejections (somewhat slashdotted already) aims to provide a home for misfit apps. With Apple offering no documents or discussions on the matter of application rejections, this site might become a popular place to pick forbidden fruit. Could a third party horn in on Apple's monopoly in the iPhone application market?"

  1. Hello Editor. Did you RTFA? by TubeSteak · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The summary implies that the website is going to be a home for rejected apps.
    TFA shows that the site is there to collect information about why Apple rejected apps.

    There were guys who have just 60 days worth of living money and if some idiot intern rejects their application, they will be financially doomed.

    This is what I would call "poor risk assessment skills". If you're depending on a capricious entity for your livelihood, I'd suggest a change of employment cause you sure as hell ain't gonna change Apple.

    *Ahem* game releases became _fewer_. Countable and non-countable nouns. The more you know!

    Yup, agree completely. As cute as some iPhone functionality is, I've heard enough bad press about how Apple handles its developers (and had enough bad experiences of my own with an iPod earlier), that there's no way in hell I'm buying one. Thanks goodness the Nokia n900 is coming out - in spite of all the rough edges I'm sure it'll have, that's the one I'm going for (and me wife is getting one too;) ). And I'm not alone in that among my friends, either.
