I would have to agree… This marks the height of garbage that had infiltrated the app store. I won’t defend Apple because it is not defendable- this was just wrong. While I am glad they kicked it out, it should not have been accepted in the first place. The approval process has really become skewed- there needs tone some kind of reform. The only way to find a good app is to know it by name- the store is so bloated with junk; honestly, do we need 50 different fart apps? I think not.

I will say that I wish that the developer would face more heat- not because Apple didn’t do anything to deserve this attention, but the fact that the developers actually wrote the thing in the first place. To me, that is worse than approving it. What do the devs do? They post a small, “Sorry, bad taste on our part. Bad idea.” Is that all? How about refunding money and a more sincere apology?
