Apples waving the ban stick around again, this time rejecting an educational iPhone app because it contained the word “Android”. The application? Flash of Genius: SAT Vocab 2.2, an iPhone app developed by Tim Novikof. The app did really well in the Android Developer Challenge that Google puts on and decided to mention that in his app to let potential customers know the value of his software. Apple however, rejected his app and sent this email to Novikof.

“During our review of your application, we found that your application contains inappropriate or irrelevant platform information in the Application Description and/or Release Notes sections.

“While your application has not been rejected, it would be appropriate to remove ‘Finalist in Google’s Android Developer’s Challenge!’ from the Application Description.

“Please log into iTunes Connect to make appropriate changes to the Application Description now to avoid an interruption in the availability of Flash of Genius: SAT Vocab 2.2 on the iPhone App Store.”
