[Software]Apple rejects "irrationally high" prices in its app store

[SougarLord]

 

Apple has begun to reject applications that charge "irrationally high prices" on its official App Store platform, after a platform developer denounced the presence of iOS apps with dishonest practices that cheat millions of dollars a year from users.

 

The US company has sent rejection messages to various app developers warning that the sti[CENSORED]ted prices "do not reflect the value of the functions and content offered to the user," as the 9to5Mac portal collects.

 

   Apple urges rejected applications to modify their prices based on their service and reapply for admission to be readmitted to the App Store, although it warns that their second review could take longer.

 

   These rejections, which would have been taking place since October and 2020 according to forum users - and which in some cases have occurred by mistake, according to the aforementioned media - are supported by section 3 of the App Store application review policies that explicitly prohibits apps considered scams.

 

The platform's policies state that it "will not distribute applications or purchases within the app that are obvious scams", and states that it will "reject expensive applications that try to deceive users with unreasonably high prices."

 

DISPUTE OVER ABUSIVE PRICES

 

The enforcement of these policies comes after this month, an iOS developer, Kosta Eleftheriou, reported that Apple's app store had an integrity problem.

   According to Eleftheriou, the App Store is home to a number of apps, including Star Gazer + and Live Wallpaper Maker - Live4K, that scam users millions of dollars each year by mani[CENSORED]ting valuations and charging dishonest prices of up to $ 260 a year.

 

   Currently, both Live Wallpaper Maker - Live4K and Star Gazer + are still present on Apple's official 'software' platform.
