  • App Review's sudden enforcement of an in-app gift rule catches a meditation app off guard

    My comment is not to take sides.  Rather to elaborate on what I think is Apple’s motivation.   By allowing non-commissioned ways to transfer money, they are owning up was for unscrupulous app developers to try and get around paying Apple’s fees for using on-app purchases.  They could try and do this by mis-labeling what is being offered so that it fell under hypothetical free tipping rules.  Or by offering “free” downloads and then the ability to “tip” the author/creator.  That sort of thing.   To me TJ’s appears to be what Apple is doing

    I’m not a Meta fan, in no way shape or form. But I have a hard time finding a tear for Apple’s dramatic stance. If Apple thinks that managing fees has a cost, then they should simply stop requiring that developers use their transactional platform. Less use, less transactions, less costs overall. Stop forcing developers to use Apple transactional platform and leave reimbursements to the developers. The current system doesn’t adequately protect customers anyway as abusive developers still manage to charge abusive fees without Apple even batting an eye. 
    So let’s charge profit making entities a sales or install cost for their apps instead. So Facebook would have to pay Apple to carry their free app.  

    Apps in-app purchase fees are a way to get paid for the service provided by the App Store and iOS itself.   Distributing Facebook for meta has enormous cost.

    The only way I buy any fitness equipment is if I buy it outright and it’s fully functional without any sort of subscription.   Period.

  • Why drivers in Scotland are crashing because of bad Apple Maps data

    Do the people drive with their nose in the maps app of their choice without watching the road?  The app may say take a left but hopefully you have your eyes open and see the issue that the street is closed or now pedestrian only.  

    But when a city makes this I change they should also make sure lots of signs and maybe tasteful vehicle barrier (flower beds? Or those metal pole things)  is in place.  Lots of people drive from memory and if it used to work they may have that Implanted in memory.

      I used to kiss a blinking red light that was installed as previously there had been nothing there    They updated things and putting a blinking light in but it took me awhile to relearn it because of my past learned experiences.l at that location.
