In the past months - soon to be ages -, Apple has reviewed (did they really?) over one billion applications so far. There are certainly many, many problems with this. Firstly, they apparently have a lazy team of people that does the so called "reviewing" job, or they have many people in that team that are simply sick and tired of reviewing over god-knows-how-many apps a day. In all honesty, the whole apps system is completely messed up. Apple is having big issues with everything that goes in the world (or should I say, all the apps that go in their world). I am going to pin-point them, and see if they ever come to a solution for them.

• Where the heck can we find a "demo" option for the apps we can use before we buy them? Sure, many developers opt to release "lite" versions of their apps that are completely free, but they are very limited, like we can see with Labyrinth, which has a Labyrinth LE version in case you want to try it first before purchasing the full product.(iTunes links. If Apple gave more official support for this, I am sure there would be less people cracking software up there. I am sure they could implement the basic "try the full product for 15 days before you buy" method without problem. Though it is possible that the developers of the apps would have to do some sort of agreement with Apple for this, it is still something that should be tried. Yes, cracked apps are cracked to let people try them before buying them. Many developers have developed a way to detect cracked apps, and give the user some sort of trial version of the app to the user if the app is indeed cracked. That's the case Sopods' did with their Full Web Browser, which detects the cracked app, and after 10 days, the app can't be opened again. Apple should follow this approach for the rest of the apps.

• "The hell? That low-level app was approved, and mine that had more time and money inverted on was rejected!?". Yes, apple has been rejecting good apps in which the developers broke their wallets and their watches, not to mention that they were/are now (the ones that got re-reviewed somehow) of good quality. Whereas others that were made by hack-toys kiddos were approved. Apple has been doing a superficial review of all the apps the go through, or at least that's what it looks like. I myself have seen many bad, not to mention even expensive, apps that didn't worth a penny from my wallet. On the other hand, I have been waiting anxiously for many apps to be release, just to learn later that Apple has rejected it.

• Honestly, are they reviewing their apps at all!? Seriously, it looks like they like the nice looking graphics and the nifty icons the apps have when they are queued and waiting for approval, or at least, it looks like it is the case with the I Am Rich app, which does nothing but show you a nice red jewel that "reminds you of how rich you were before you bought that app", and that's really everything there is into the app. A nice graphic, and a nifty icon in the SpringBoard. On an off-topic note, can you believe someone really paid that much money for the app? I cannot believe there is someone in this world that purchased such thing...

• Apple is filtering inoffensive content, or that's what it looks like. As far as I know, that reputation was ruined when Baby Shaker (main picture of this blog post) was approved. The simple app is to shake your iPhone to make the baby shut up... Doing so will add two big red X's to the babies eyes. I have to agree, this application is the biggest, most stupid thing that has been on the iPhone app. Personally, I hate this kind of things, and I would take Apples' heads for not being careful with everything they 'review'. This app has caused controversy, hate, and god knows, probably even social groups rising or something.

• 6-months old apps are STILL in queue, awaiting for approval. This case is remarkable.

Point blank truth: Apple sucks reviewing the apps they receive. Something has to be done. The current App Store has many flaws.
