Some of you might remember the supposed “porn app” for the iPhone that we reported on just yesterday. I have just heard that this app has been pulled.

According to my source, these apps which were called “Pussy Lovers” and “Tits and Boobies” were not pulled because of their questionable titles. It was because that the tits, boobies, and pussies were the ones that were that you see on the right. In other words, the apps were pulled because the developer of the apps didn’t have what usually comes to mind when those three aforementioned words are said.

Hit the jump for the developers actual quote:

I am the developer of Tits & Boobies and Pussy Lovers.

I received a call from someone at Apple and he said that the apps were being removed from the store as they were deemed inappropriate for the iTunes Store. Although I did not ask him if they received complaints, upon inquiring about what it was that was inappropriate about the apps, I was told that the title did not match the content and was asked to change the title and the “Education” category. I asked him if I could change the content instead, as there were other similarly named apps on the store, and got back something that equated to a maybe (though he did specifically say that they weren’t asking me to put pictures of Vaginas in the Pussy Lovers app).

Essentially my understanding is that it is okay to sell an app on the store called Tits and Boobies as long as it has pictures of women’s breasts (the more common meaning of those words) but it is not okay to sell a funny app called Tits and Boobies that has pictures of birds in it. Those apps are quite popular with combined over 300,000 downloads and most people we have shown them to get a laugh out of them and use them to play pranks on friends.

From a developer’s perspective, we just want some consistency and more communication in the way the apps are reviewed and featured on the iTunes Store. Our Kamasutra application was initially rejected twice for containing inappropriate content even though it was rated 17+. Recently we discovered other similarly themed apps on Sexual Positions in the store and re-submitted and it was approved this time around. When where the policies in the store changed and why were we not informed so that we had an opportunity to resubmit our app.

I mentioned yesterday that I thought these apps were as sick as they are funny. I think the same thing about this new development.
