boycott apple
Wonder if it can be made available for Android? Also, are Android apps subject to the same PC screening?
so will Apple now ban any apps with the Quran ?
Might be too late to boycott the ‘fruit’ of Eden but certainly this ‘Apple’ can be. It’s got competitors, use one.
Apple always has been run by a bungh of gumchewing hippies. Good Computers though. I have four of them.
Many of Apples apps are objectionable to large groups of people.
If this is their basis for denying a Christian app then they should not have any apps at all............
Is there a good replacement for Ipod??? Love my Ipod. Won’t have to replace unless it breaks but, just in case.
“Choose today which master you will serve ...”
Apple has chosen.
If we go back in time to the mid-eighties when the first IBM-PC vs. Mac wars were breaking out, one reason to be in the IBM-PC camp was because you didn’t want one company to control your entire range of HW/SW choices. And one reason you were in the Mac camp was because that was just fine with you if they did. Now flash forward 25 years later and we see plenty that has changed but that one difference is still there.
No. Android apps and OSs are, by definition, an open system. Anyone could offer an Adroid-based app on their site without having to clear it with anyone
Fellow freepers can help a lot by signing the petition requesting that the App be made available:

Probably not, since they haven't banned bible apps.
This sounds like the way to go.
It is outright stupid for Apple to allow 3% of the population’s sexual perversion to dictate to the rest of us.
I’ve never bought any of Apple’s products and this seals my determination never to do so.
depends on what you want to do. If just for music there are cheap generics. Microsloth Zune. Most smart phones will play mp3’s.
Yea, I just use it for music. I don’t have a smart phone. I like the features of the ipod. You can see everything you have on it. I bought my daughter a cheapie one that didn’t have those features. I suppose you can buy a different brand that does, I’ve just never looked.
So Black becomes White and White become Black in the world of Apple.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became as fools.
What don’t those morons at Apple understand about “Love the sinner, hate the sin”?
What I find as disturbing as anything is how so many in our own FR community do not get the significance of what Apple is doing. Witness the back-and-forth this thread:

Let me be clear. I’m not an anti-Apple person. I use and like Apple products. But suppressing access to a key communication technology, simply because a vocal minority is falsely accusing an app of being homophobic, is too much too ignore. I’m not sure a boycott is the answer, but this kind of effort to marginalize the Christian moral perspective cannot go unchallenged, because it *is* a big deal.
