Bangalore: Known for its questionable rejections and communication, the App Store has come under fire by developers who feel they're being left in the dark. Even the guy behind Facebook's official iPhone app called it quits this month, telling that he was philosophically opposed to the existence of Apple's review process.

Apple Senior Vice President P Phil Schiller defended the app approval process, but neither his explanation nor Apple's recent introduction of status updates for developers seems to have calmed the storm.

Recently, a UK based iPhone Developer Adam Martin, has launched a new website AppRejections.com to track and catalog all the 'unusual' and 'unfair' rejections from Apple's App Store. "There are now more than 100,000 iPhone applications available on the App Store. However, Apple has a secret, undocumented, unquestionable, random process for deciding which applications to allow onto the deck," says Martin

Martin cites the rejection of Google's Voice application as the impetus for his creation. Following that controversy, he believes that the number of questionable app rejections skyrocketed. "Since Apple point-blank refuses to document the criteria, or even to discuss the matter on anything except a case-by-case basis, I decided to collate all the known examples of rejected apps -- and so this site was born," said Martin.

Martin says that he is currently going through backlogs of past Apple rejections and hopes to eventually feature every documented case.
