It seems that Apple's procedure to select or reject applications for its App store depends more on its own whims and fancies. The company's procedure for selecting or rejecting applications for its App store has often been criticized. It is recently under fire for rejecting popular Twitter app.
Apple earned a lot of criticism when it rejected popular Twitter app for iPhone and iPod touch called Tweetie 1.3. Apple rejected Twitter app just because it fetches the Twitter Trends section, showing the most frequent topics or words on Twitter at any given moment. In an e-mail earlier Tuesday, app developer Loren Brichter reported that Apple's reason for rejecting version 1.3 of Tweetie was "Profanity".
In its denial Apple said, "Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive, or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple's reasonable judgment may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod Touch users."
