Rejected, ‘politically charged’ iSinglePayer app gets the green light

True to form, Apple has rethought its strategy on an App Store rejection, and has granted the “politically charged” iSinglePayer rights to terrorize potential buyers with its alarming messages. If you’ll recall, the application tackles the hot-button healthcare issue in America by offering spending advice for consumers and a GPS lookup for local Congress members’ and their healthcare-related donations. As we mentioned in our original post, it’s a pretty tame set of functionality, and certainly nothing that seems outwardly offensive (at least not any more offensive than lots of apps you can purchase). Just as with our previous complaints about Apple’s way of doing business, it’s not so much the rejections that bother us, but the unclear set of circumstances by which the company arrives at those decisions. Regardless, some firebrand app reviewer has seen fit to allow this townhall-rattling piece of software into the Store, so now you can go see what all the fuss was about for yourself.
