Snuggle Truck's revised approach helped it get onto the App Store following rejection, but it's not the first denied app to end up back in Apple's good graces. Here are five more:
Apple rejected Google's official phone app for more than a year (for duplicating a core function of the iPhone) before finally relenting in December 2010 – after approving some third-party GV apps.
This classic book app was rejected in 2009 for including the Kama Sutra sex book, but was approved only days later following widespread outcry. Standalone Kama Sutra apps are now available – with pictures!
Originally submitted as Prohibition 2: Drug Wars, this buy-low, sell-high drug dealing game was blocked – until developer Catamount Software swapped in rock candy and sugar sticks for narcotics.
Mark Fiore won a Pulitzer Prize for his political cartoons, but that didn't stop his app from being banned for defaming public figures. Apple later reversed the decision, which Steve Jobs labeled a "mistake."
The first of many flatulence apps on the iPhone was rejected in 2008 for offering "limited utility." Months later, Apple changed its mind – a decision that changed App Store amusement forever.
