>"The Hey Email app is marketed as an email app on the App Store, but when users download your app, it does not work," Apple said in a letter to Basecamp CEO Jason Fried on Thursday. "Users cannot use the app to access email or perform any useful function until after they go to the Basecamp website for Hey Email and purchase a license to use the Hey Email app." Imagine if all applications on the App Store had to work straight out of the box without any kind of interaction with any kind of an external service. Even my bank would be barred from the App Store since I actually need to get in my car and drive to the bank in order to have an account for the damn thing. Rival bank's application doesn't even allow you to login even if you have an account if you have not logged into that account at the bank's website at least once. So much for working out of the box. Banking apps do not have an exception in the App Store Review Guidelines, so I don't really understand why they're getting off so easily.
