About 3 months ago when we made a novelty app that turned your phone into a massager, it was originally called "Happy Ending". They rejected it for the sexual innuendo so we changed the name to Pocket Massage (lol), which was consistent with an exercise app we made called Pocket Workout.
Long story short, we tried leaving the Happy Ending name in japanese and in tiny detail on the app icon but it was rejected again. Certainly not the same as a well hidden easter egg, but I was surprised they took the time to translate the small details considering some of things that have made it through.
- PanMan 17y agoWasn't it still rejected because you aren't allowed to use vibrate for a prolonged time? (not sure where I read that, but I did).
- pxlpshr 17y agoI wouldn't be surprised if this was the case pre-December 2008. In December, Apple lifted the gate on farting apps for all the flack it was receiving for rejecting them. Around the same time about ~6 massage apps landed on the store. AppStore Mkting Hint: We toggle our massage app between FREE and .99, it's a great little promotional tool. Every time we switch back to free, all the Twitter bots and web tracking services pickup the price decrease and we get a massive influx of downloads and web traffic.
