I received an e-mail over the weekend that adds further reinforcement to my advice that there's nothing but trouble for adult business services wanting to pursue an App.


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.
Again, if you have an idea for an App, with any Adult purpose, write it as html/css first. Apple won't approve an Adult App, and Android could block it later.

If your idea can be done as an App, it can be done as an html webpage.

e.g. If you have an idea for an App, because you think only Apps do location-based Friend finding, then you haven't been keeping up with html5, and its geo-location features. http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp
