So Apple just rejected PlaceTagger for the 3rd time. This go around, the reviewer kindly sent this useless message:


Your application, PlaceTagger, cannot be posted to the App Store at this time because it does not adhere to the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines as outlined in iPhone SDK Agreement section 3.3.5.

When the device is not connected to a network, PlaceTagger does not display a network alert. This behavior might lead to user confusion. It would be appropriate to display either a notification or an alert stating that internet connectivity is required.

That’s fine and dandy but PlaceTagger does not require a network connection to function. It just requires location services. If a network connection is available, it is used to display the optional map. We’ve submitted the app for the 4th time (edit: with an additional label on the screen). digg this and save a unicorn.

Update: It took a little while but Apple did finally approve PlaceTagger and we appreciate it.

HUGE thanks to the team at Apple for approving BillMinder 1.3.1 in less than a day. It should hit phones within a few hours.

CastCatcher Internet Radio cannot be posted to the App Store because it is transferring excessive volumes of data over the cellular network, which as outlined in the iPhone SDK Agreement section 3.3.15, is prohibited

Right. Except for the fact that every other radio app works over cell network as well AND Apple has approved THREE prior releases of CastCatcher. We’ve emailed them and are hoping to resolve this quickly. CastCatcher does not burden cell networks any more than any other radio application. Ridiculous.

EDIT: We resubmitted and Apple approved CastCatcher and it’s been on the store some time. Thanks Apple!
