$999.99 iPhone App Sold 8 Before Being Pulled from App Store [Big Money]

Posted by Mavrik | Filed under ZOMG

The program called ‘I am Rich’ simply has a red ruby float around the screen showing that you are so rich a simple program like that is no problem for you to buy. Yesterday the application was pulled from Apple’s App Store.

LA Times reports that eight individuals bought the $999.99 I am Rich application from the App Store before it was pulled off the store. The developer states he does not know why Apple removed the application. Heinrich, a German software developer, has yet to hear back from Apple concerning the removal. “I have no idea why they did it and am not aware of any violation of the rules to sell software on the App Store,” Heinrich said in an e-mail with The Times today. According to Heinrich, six people in the U.S., one from Germany and one from France bought the $999.99 application. This brought Heinrich $5600 in net revenue. DAMN, why didn’t I think of this?!
