Top 10 rejected iPhone apps
10 rejected iPhone apps as assembled by PC World. You’ve probably heard of many of them, but there were a few surprises on the list.
- Obama Trampoline - Placed politicians on a trampoline.
- MyShoe - Used the iPhone’s accelerometer for footwear flinging.
- I Am Poor - Placed images of ramen noodles, tuna, and mac-and-cheese on the home screen.
- The South Park App - Accessed South Park episode clips, news and wallpaper.
- Pull My Finger - Banned, then admitted. Now a top seller.
- iBoobs - Let you jiggle a particular part of the female anatomy. (Ironically Wobble Bikini Babes is ok).
- Slasher - Showed an image of a kitchen knife and played a scream when you shook it
- Murderdrome - This digital comic was deemed too hot for the iPhone.
- Podcaster - Allowed you to download Podcasts directly to the iPhone. The developer took out the directory and now calls it RSS Player.
- Freedom Time - Designed to tick down the final moments of the outgoing administration.
