Apple pulls app that claimed to 'cure' homosexuality
An app that purported to free its users from the “bondage of homosexuality” has disappeared from the App Store.
Early Thursday, the group All Out (which advocates for the rights of gay, bisexual, and transgender people) began spreading the word about an app called Setting Captives Free. All Out objected to the app’s presence in the Apple and Google Play app stores.
The group launched a petition to get the app removed, which had more than 30,000 signatures at publication time. By Thursday afternoon, the app no longer loaded successfully in the iTunes Store, instead generating only an error indicating that it was not available.
Apple confirmed to Macworld that the app had been pulled from the store for violating the company’s developer guidelines.
