Representatives of Apple in the third time refused to deploy to the App Store application Drone +, informing users of the iPhone on the ground military operations of U.S. drones.
According to the publication Wired, Apple has refused to deploy applications in the App Store Drone +, which is able to notify the owner of the iPhone on each successful attack U.S. drones. The program is designed so that every time an unmanned aerial device performs a successful operation, the smart phone will sound an alert and location coordinates of the object attacked.
Every time a U.S. drone kills someone - your iPhone beeps and shows on the globe of the Earth, where it happened. According to the magazine Wired, location-based application tracks the position of UAV during special operations and informs the owner Smartphone location and consequences of an attack. A great idea for a mobile app, it would seem. But Apple will not appreciate it - and refused Drone + application to register App Store.
Apple representatives have found the application "rude and obnoxious" because, in their view, such a warning of war news is unacceptable.
Recall that Apple Corporation is the third time refused to deploy the online store application that gathers news about military operations drones. The first time a program called "useless", the second - was accused of violating the rights of a third party to the trademark, as they found that the application contains a hidden logo. At this time, methods of reporting program called "nasty and rude."
New York-based software developer Josh Begley complains that if the aggregation of news sources is considered "obnoxious and rude content," he does not know how to fix the program so it does not break the rules.
According to the creator of the application Josh Begley, claim the application was unfounded. The developer does not see anything in the program of rough, because it does not show the photos from the field of operations, but only collects news and geolocation data determines the raid, which was attended by drones.
Josh Begley does not understand that there may be a rough, if the program does not show dead bodies, or any photos, but simply gathers news on a particular subject and imposes coordinates air strikes on a map.
This is the third time the application is rejected by the moderators Drone + Apple. In the first program, which collects news about drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, called "useless." The second time was a complaint to the hidden logo. And now - the problem of "crude content."
