Torrent App Rejected, goes to Cydia


Apple has once again rejected an app and this time it's a Torrent app. Italian developer Claudio had submitted his uMonitor app to the Apple App Store for approval four months back and finally it got rejected now. Without hesitation, the uMonitor application went to the Cydia, package manager for downloading applications for jailbroken iPhone and iPod Touch.
After four month's wait for approval, Claudio received note from Apple saying: We' ve reviewed uMonitor and determined that we cannot post this version of your application to the App Store at this time because this category of applications is often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights. We have chosen to not publish this type of application to the App Store.

Earlier, Apple had rejected another application Drivetrain that was meant to control Mac-based Torrent client Transmission.

As per Apple's policy, any that can be used for 'the purpose of infringing third party rights' won' t be published through the App Store.

However, the jailbroken iPhone and iPod Touch users who wish to install uMonitor, can head to the developer's page for instructions.
