New Updates

I took a break to work on some personal stuff and now I am back into the iPhone swing of things. I have updated the free version and I am currently waiting on apple's approval for the that update and I am trying to get some technical stuff worked out for the paid version. I think I might have the email to a friend thing down, but the favorites might take a bit longer. I will see if I can get the email to a friend down this week and then see how far I can get on the favorites. If I can't get it by week's end, then I will just submit it as is and do the favorites in the next update.

Second App Approved

Apple finally approved my original, clean app. It only took them a month. Here is a link to the clean one, it has about 200 bumper stickers versus the 600 the mature one has. Let me know what you think.

Getting some good sales

Thank you to everyone who is buying the app. I am getting some good sales, but not too many good ideas for bumperstickers. Please send me some so I can update with some of your suggestions. I am working on the next update now, so I will let everyone know when it is submitted.

Approved

Okay, so Apple finally approved one of my applications. They approved the Mature Bumper Sticker Wisdom one. Which I personally think is the better one, as it is much more amusing. So, go out and get it, tell all of your friends about it. It can be found here:

Mature Bumper Sticker Wisdom

Also, one you get it, let me know what you think. I am open to making changes and to making it better. I also can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for their own, especially since this is the mature one, people can go crazy.

Update

Okay so I have resubmitted both of the apps and here is where things stand. For the regular app, it got rejected again because they said I didn't rate it high enough, due to "crude humor". So I went ahead and up'ed the crude humor tab to it's highest rating, but that didn't change the rating from 12+. So I also up'ed the "mature" tab to get it to 17+ which should be enough. So, hopefully, they will pass it and it will be live soon.

As for the mature app, well I resubmitted it and got a letter from Apple saying they need more time to review everything. From what I have read, this means they are going to kill the app by not accepting it, nor declining it. Oh well, at least it looks like one of the two will be live.

I think I am going to start my next app tomorrow. I think this one will be much easier to get through, and I think I will try to incorporate some new things into it. It should be fun.

Time to move on?

Well, I have submitted the fixed applications to Apple and I haven't heard anything yet. I am thinking it might be time to move on to the next application. I have some ideas on how to update the bumper sticker apps, but until I know they will be available, I am going to wait on the updates.

I have some ideas for my next application, and I think they will be a little more Apple friendly, but let's see what happens.

Apps Rejected

Okay, so I got an email from Apple today stating that both apps have been rejected. I was not surprised by the mature one being so, but the normal one too? The email stated that I was in violation of their obscene/objectionable content clauses and they sent screen shots of the objectionable content.

It would seem that the only thing Apple had a problem with was the Religious button. Of all of the examples given, they all had either the words, God or Jesus in them. Some examples, "My God can beat up your God," and "Jesus loves everybody you hate." Needless to say I was a bit shocked. So, I went ahead and removed the religious button and put in a "Submitted" button. This is where all of the user submitted entries will go.

I then resubmitted both of them and let's see what happens now....
