App rejects of the world unite

A WEBSITE has sprung up offering those Iphone developers who have been refused a place on the Apple App store an outlet for their frustrations.

According to Adam White, who runs a British app developing company and set up the site, apprejections was set up as a place for disgruntled developers to gather together and whinge about Apple's apparent agenda in keeping them out.

"There are now [more than] 100,000 Iphone applications available on the App Store. However, Apple has a secret, undocumented, unquestionable, random process for deciding which applications to 'allow' onto the deck. Ever since I started, people have cried 'FOUL!' when they've been rejected by Apple for reasons that - in the developer's mind - were unfair," he writes on the site's 'about' page.

The site will also be a useful tool for those developers who are being asked to do things for a client that doesn't have a clue what the whole process involves, at least that's what White reckons anyway. He adds, "Read it to find out what you can (and can't!) get away with. Show it to clients who ask too much, as evidence that you're not being difficult - their app really will get rejected if you add the features they're demanding!"

Some people just can't stand rejection. µ
