Hey Romeos,
Tough news. We received a call from Apple on Friday afternoon. As you
may know, they don't allow sexually explicit images in apps for iPhone
and iPad. We've always complied by blocking pictures rated XXX from
appearing in app profiles, but apparently that's not enough for them.
Surprisingly they now say they aren't willing to accept even soft core
pictures, and if all nudity is not scrubbed from our app in the next 48
hours it will be taken down. You guys are just too sexy for the censors
of Silicon Valley!
As a result we immediately also had to block soft core pictures from
appearing on the Apple iOS app. This is frustrating, but please don't
flame us in the reviews! We would love to show everything, but Apple just
doesn't allow it. Our hands are tied.
These changes have no impact for our Android app. Soft-core photos will
continue to appear there. One alternative that allows you to view all
photos on a mobile device is to use our mobile browser version at
touch.planetromeo.com.
We will continue to support and update our iOS app. We know how annoying
it is to see all those "TOO HOT" messages and we will fix it so that they
no longer appear in our upcoming update around Easter. We hope for your
understanding. It's not easy taking on Goliath.
Thank you.
The PlanetRomeo team.
