So, who's going to spearhead the movement where tech enthusiasts and developers demand Apple's head on a stick? Or a revision of the app policy? Or at least some accountability?

Doesn’t that mean that the same video can be found via the iPhone’s YouTube application?

Not an iphone user here, but this is just ridic. at this point. I wonder what the TRUE *underlying* motive is for this ban.

Someone tries to have morals and you all slam them into the ground. Apple can't restrict YouTube from doing whatever it wants, but it can have control over the content it approves. Good for them.

Morals? Then explain why Apple has approved countless apps that allow you to oggle naked women.

Jeese, guys. Get over it. It's not exactly news that apple is closed minded and overly rigid with control of it's products and how they're used.

I think Apple need to be pulled up on this by someone; Microsoft get accused all the time of unfair practice - a fine example is being criticized for having Internet Explorer installed as the default browser on Windows and there being no way to completely uninstall this.
I'd love to see Opera Mini on the Apple iPhone. I believe Opera Software have a working version for the iPhone, but they won't submit it to the App Store because it violates Apple's terms when it comes to matching their competing product of Safari web browser.

With 30,000 apps, they have rooms full of monkeys reviewing apps. They rejected my app for having a "urination" sound clip on the same week they approved an app dedicated to urination.
Monkeys. That explains everything.

This about sums up the situation. No offense, but they probably have a room full of high school dropouts "reviewing" apps. It's no wonder this stuff goes down.

I like the idea of monkeys sitting in the apple facility doing all the crazy stuff with a bunch of iphones. hehe it is an amusing imagination.
I have recently launched two applications. I just hope the monkeys accidentally hit the approve button LOL!

Apple's whole app policy is stupid

Actually, this is not arbitrary at all. This app allows someone to access YouTube videos outside of their own app. It isn't arbitrary at all it's about killing apps that compete with their own stuff. Which makes the approval of the Skype app all the more befuddling to me.

We covered this on http://www.appgiveaway.com its madness how they can refuse this app, I suggest he trys awith the App Store again maybe they will have a change of heart, lots of apps on AppGiveaway.com to giveaway.

Could it be that Apple doesn't want the easy access to derogatory language. Yes you can use safari and the Youtube app to view the same stuff. Put that involves several more steps to complete the process. In addition, those to apps allow access to the whole internet. This app doesn't.
I'm ok with criticizing apple where it makes sense. This isn't a good example of arbitrary rejection.

Providing specific pricing information in these locations may lead to user confusion because of pricing differences in countries. It would be appropriate to remove pricing information from these locations.
