I'm sure that app review is a hard problem. But it seems like Apple has the worst of both worlds sometimes -- HN frequently puts cases where an existing, very successful app gets suddenly dinged for something, or a new app from a big vendor gets nailed on a point of policy. Meanwhile absolute shovelware like this seems to be able to clear the review process no problem.

- zepto 6y ago"We saw you're making money, therefore give us money, even tho we provide zero added value.” This is just something you made up. Apple’s justification was quite different.
