Apple rejects iSinglePayer iPhone app for being 'politically charged'

Apple might be talking a big game about how it's revising the App Store approval process with an oversight board and trotting out Phil Schiller to do damage control at opportune moments, but the process itself is still generating inconsistent and maddening results -- like today's rejection of an app advocating for healthcare reform called iSinglePayer, which was rejected for being "politically charged." Yeah, that's insane, especially since the app just consists of healthcare spending information and a GPS-driven lookup tool for local Congress members and how much money they've received in health-sector donations.

1. Before anyone starts calling for a boycott on Apple or something,

just let it be known that their app approval process is extremely shoddy and inconsistent in all areas, and I wouldn't attribute this to a political motive at all.

It's cheaper too!
