Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s App Drone+, which is now blocked, was an app for tracking U.S. drone strikes and media reports of casualties and maps locations of drone strikes, but Apple rejected that this controversial content holding app was there.
It looked like that iPhone app can send iPhone users a pop-up notice about the Drone Attacks, whenever a flying robot kills someone in one of America’s many undeclared wars. But Apple Inc. (AAPL) keeps on blocking the Drones+ App from its App Store.
According to Apple’s latest rejection letter not to have this App in App store, is not a good gesture according to the Cupertino company, it says that the content is “objectionable and crude.”
The program’s developer Josh Begley says, it’s the third consecutive time in a month that Apple Inc. has blocked the Drones+. The company’s intention for keeping this controversial program out of the App Store always keeps on shifting.
According to Josh Begley, the app’s creator, Tech Firm has rejected the app three times in this summer, the most recent of which referenced App Store guidelines that prohibits any objectionable content.
Josh Begley thinks this App works best whenever users enable push notifications for Drones+.
He says, “I thought reaching into the pockets of U.S. smartphone users and annoying them into drone-consciousness could be an interesting way to surface the conversation a bit more.”
Begley also seems confused on its developed App because according to him Drones+ doesn’t present objectionable images of corpses left in result of the strikes. It is made just to make aware the users when a strike has occurred.
Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s original objections regarding the the App Drones+ seem to be more technical rather than its content. Now Begley is wondering if it’s worth redesigning and he have to again resubmit it a fourth time.
