Today apple approved a ping pong app for the iPhone and iPad.
Almost two years ago I made exactly the same app!
And it was rejected! And I know mine didn’t have any sort of iPad tie-in, but no fair, there WAS no iPad back then!
So I say, Apple, you’re slipping. And I say Ping Pong Battle, you are not worth $4.99! And finally, I say “pants!”
(I just hadn’t said it in a while.)

What did you expect hahahaha apple will butt-gang-rape you in any chance you give them. Disgusting.

That’s the way it goes over there at Apple.

That’s what you get when you play with Apple. They’re rules, they always win. Get yourself an Android phone and put your skills to good use developing for an open and fair platform!

++ on the Android suggestion. C’mon, Josh! Where’s the Android love?

It’s not a big deal, go ahead to relaunch a new app to beat them ass hole.

Um, if this is all your app did, “after about a week, I had actually finished my first app! It was called Ponger and it was well under 100K. All it did was show an image of a ping pong paddle on your iPhone that when you swung it, made ping pong noises!”, Apple is correct in rejecting your app.
Ping Pong Battle is an actual game.

Agreed (@ Moe). Your app failed for one, or more, of the reasons that Steve talked about at the last keynote. You admittedly had to relearn everything in order to make something for the App Store; if you didn’t follow their guidelines/procedures/coding expectations, then you failed on your own. If you didn’t produce a title that did what you said it would, you failed. If you didn’t make a compelling enough game, then again, you failed on your own. I for one, can appreciate what Apple’s doing with their App Store from a quality assurance perspective – and I can also understand Apple’s perspective of approval/denial based on an open submission model from a design & development standpoint as well as an application developer.
If you can’t figure it out, don’t flame the client that you want to make millions off of – blame yourself.

Honestly, that looks pretty stupid.

I missed you crowing about your “hackintosh.” You’re a real piece of work. I suppose Dreamhost doesn’t care when their customers break their argreements? Oh wait, they do?
Jackass.

@Tim This is not a way to get in contact with support. Please contact them via http://www.dreamhost.com/contact.cgi if you need your password. You can also request it here: https://panel.dreamhost.com/login/forgot.cgi

This is example of one reason why I’ve never been anxious to get an iPhone, and am not now interested in getting an iPad. -TimK

Jobs quote:
We get about 15k apps submitted every week. They come in up to 30 different languages. Guess what: 95% of the apps submitted are approved within 7 days. What about the 5% that aren’t? Why don’t we approve them? Let me give you the three top reasons.
The number one reason: it doesn’t function as advertised. It doesn’t do what the developer says it does, so we tell the developer to change the app or the description. The second reason: the developer uses private APIs. … If we upgrade the OS and the app breaks, we won’t have a happy customer.

I can’t believe people are treating this post as if it’s a serious complaint!! It’s supposed to be humorous :P
And to people complaining about support, I’ve been with DH for almost 10 years and always, always had super fast responses to my support tickets despite the massive time zone difference. If it’s important, flag it as the right importance when you submit. Also check your email hasn’t marked it as spam (log into your panel to check responses), because mine inconsistently does.

Well the inconvenient truth you now realize there. That’s how businesses actually go around…
