This is getting a little absurd. The latest in a string of controversial apps in the app store, Offender Locator, has somehow made it back into the App Store today. You’ll recall, no doubt, that the was pulled, supposedly because it violates several states’ laws regarding selling personal information for profit, whether those people are sex offenders or not.
Well now that same app is back, available for the original $.99. This just throws more fuel on the speculative fire with regard to Apple’s approval process. Why in god’s name would they pull the app, just to throw it back up? Seemingly nothing has changed, including the major issue, which is the price. Had the developer cut the price out, there would be no question, and they could probably still make loads of money from advertisements. At this point I just want someone to step up and tell us what the hell is going on. Pretty sure that someone won’t be anyone from Apple.
