Top 10 Outrageous iPhone Apps to Ban
Even with Apple’s strict guidelines, a few unbelievable and mind boggling apps have made their way into the App Store. Here is a quick look at some of the most horrible, offensive and useless apps ever created for the iPhone that need to be banned, if they haven’t been already.
10. Pocket Heat
Release Date: January, 2010
Banned: Still available
Cost: $0.99
Pocket Heat used to drain your battery and overheat your iPhone to keep your hands warm, but now it’s just a “faux heater” that does its “best to heat you up using nothing more than pixels and sound waves”. It looks like Apple wasn’t happy about people turning their iPhones into portable heaters based on the App’s official App Store message to haters:
“To all the negative comments – the app used to create heat by using the GPS, accelerometer and other things. This is no longer the case as Apple would not allow that functionality in this instance. We apologize for the confusion, but our descriptions and updates have always told what the app does.”
9. Quests and Dungeons by Sikalosoft
Release Date: October 20, 2012
Banned: Still available
Sikalosoft is the creator of the controversial Baby Shaker app (see below), and one of the worst developers still making iOS games. All you have to do is look at these screenshots to see why. Sikalosoft should be banned just for insulting Apple and Apple fans with these childish images.
8. iAmAMan
Release Date: December, 2008
Banned: Still available
Cost: $2.29
iAmAMan by IPS Pirates doesn’t deserved to be banned, but it has ruffled a lot of feathers. The app allows men to track their girlfriend’s menstrual cycle, and “helps to avoid misunderstandings and preserve your relationship.” The app has received criticism for allowing the tracking of several women at the same time, and for claiming it can help men predict their girlfriend’s “mood” so they can “save money” on dates.
7. I Am Rich
Release Date: August 5, 2008 Banned: August 6, 2008
Armin Heinrich’s $1,000 app allowed frivolous iPhone users to download a glowing red gem that contained a secret rich person’s mantra. The app’s official description called it “a work of art with no hidden function at all”. The app was pulled by Apple without explanation the day after its release. Android owners can now download it for free through Google Play.
6. Sexy Bikini Fart
Release Date: August, 2009
Banned: unknown
This app did not just deliver bikini farts, it delivered “sexy” bikini farts from hot sexy girls who like to talk dirty. I’m not sure why Apple banned this one.
