Official Google Voice app rejected from App Store?
Author: Jeff28 Jul
Earlier this month we let you know that an official Google Voice app was released for the BlackBerry along with Android powered handsets, but what about the iPhone?
Well, it seems that there was a Google Voice app submitted for approval up to 6 weeks ago where it was then rejected. But wait, what? Below is a quote from a Google spokeperson to TechCrunch:
“We work hard to bring Google applications to a number of mobile platforms, including the iPhone. Apple did not approve the Google Voice application we submitted six weeks ago to the Apple App Store. We will continue to work to bring our services to iPhone users - for example, by taking advantage of advances in mobile browsers.”
We’ve seen apps rejected by Apple in the past, but an official Google one? What is the world coming to?

[...] Apple really has to get its act together. This concerns policies on approving apps. Take the case of the Bobble Rep-111th Congress Addition app. Supposedly under the developer license agreement, Apple forbids ridiculing public figures. This caricature app was originally rejected but later on approved since they deem caricatures as harmless. So there are loopholes as you can see in their policies but if this was the case, why didn’t they consider that in the first place before rejecting this bobble-head app which you can now get for $0.99 at the app store? A little consistency could really save them the criticism! [...]
