It seems like nearly every week now we get a version of the following scenario to enjoy courtesy of Apple and the elite (and tiny and overmatched) corps of App Store app reviewers: an app gets rejected for farcical / nonsensical / blatantly inconsistent reasons; the rejection gets spotlighted in lots of mainstream tech blogs round the web, and Apple sees the fuss, backs down, and approves the app in question.
This week’s entry is the Bubble Rep – 111th Congress Edition app, which provides a guide to members of the 111th Congress and was initially rejected because the – quite tame and harmless – caricatures of the politicians contained in it were deemed to be content that ‘ridicules public figures’.
The decision was pretty quickly reversed, the app is now in the App Store, and you can see more details on the all-too-familiar chain of events on this over at CNET’s post, HERE.
