Junk in the iTunes App Store

As of September 9, 2014 Apple announced that there are 1.3 million apps in the App Store. Pretty sure the 1.3 million figure include the junk in the App Store.

I was re-downoading XCOM: Enemy Unknown on my iPad, and I saw an app titled:

GamePRO – X-COM Enemy Within Edition

XCOM in the App Store

I had a hunch, so I checked out this “GamePRO – X-COM Enemy Within Edition” app. My hunch was right; this is a junk app.

The reviews shows that this app is completely misleading.

This “developer” seems to have a lot of apps published in the App Store. All of them are complete junk.

Junk App Michelle Bernardo IngeniusGames_com

This is what IngeniusGames.com look like:

IngeniusGames_com

It is a WordPress site with sample contents from the theme. I wonder how Apple App Store Team approved any apps from this so called developer?

If you see this kind of misleading, scummy junk apps, please report it to Apple.

Apple Confirmed that South Park Episode “200” is taken off iTunes Store.

iTunes Store Season Pass customer for “South Park: Uncensored, Season 14” reported that they were able to download Episode “200” prior the airing of Episode “201” on Wednesday. The Episode “200” has since disappeared from iTunes Store. The controversy surrounding Episode “201” seemed to be the reason why Episode “200” was taken off the iTunes Store, Amazon Digital Download and the broadcast.

The previously available episode “200” was identical to the Uncensored version that was streamed at South Park Studios.

According to an Apple iTunes Store Representative, South Park Episode “200” was indeed taken off the iTunes Store citing the iTunes Usage Rules:

Apple reserves the right not to post or publish any materials, and to delete, remove or edit any material, at any time in its sole discretion without notice or liability.

It is unclear if South Park Episode “200” was taken off the iTunes Store by Apple or by request from Comedy Central. Episode “201” was scheduled to be made available on iTunes Store this Saturday April 24th, 2010. It is unclear if and when Episode “201” will be made available for purchase.

At the Amazon Video On Demand, Episode “200” is also unavailable.

South Park: Season 14 Episode 5 – “200” is absent from iTunes Store.

UPDATE:
One reader commented that “200” was available at iTunes Store, but now it’s gone (see comment). Can anyone else confirm?

For sure I thought I saw South Park: Season 14 Episode 5 – “200” on the iTunes Store a few days ago. I just checked iTunes Store and now “200: is not available. Can someone confirm if “200” was ever made available on iTunes Store?

South Park: Season 14 Uncensored on iTunes Store.

The signs say that Comedy Central might be pulling “200” and “201” out of circulation for good.

Adam Carolla Podcast Tops iTunes Store.

It took less than a week after its debut, Adam Carolla Podcast tops iTunes Store Podcast Chart.

adamcarolla_podcast_itunes

The recently laid-off by CBS Radio, Adam Carolla brings his shows exclusively on podcast. Recorded from Carolla’s own home, the podcast should help fans of the show from grieving from the show cancellations. Carolla is actually still under contract with CBS Radio until the end of 2009, thus the podcast will be commercial free. Since it is no longerbroadcasted on terrestrial radio, the show is no longer bound by FCC rules. That means no more bleeping and more swearing. Take that, FCC!

Leo Laporte mentioned Adam Carolla Podcast on TWiT 184.
