Think of the Children
9th September 2010
The introduction to Apple's published App Store Review Guidlines (requires a paid-up developer account) is kind of hilarious. The highlights:
We have lots of kids downloading lots of apps, and parental controls don't work unless the parents set them up (many don't). So know that we're keeping an eye out for the kids.
Bullshit.
We don't need any more Fart apps.
Someone tell that to Phillip Shoemaker!
We have lots of serious developers who don't want their quality Apps to be surrounded by amateur hour.
Really? If apps suck they won't gain any traction and no-one should ever see them; I can't see how this is a problem at all.
