&gt; We’ve seen how that goes. Trust me, podcasters, you don’t want that.<p>is a tossed off line referring to the travails of Marco and other developers who publicly complain about the app store. In particular:<p>Apple&#x27;s 30% cut is probably the least significant but definitely not an insignificant concern.<p>More important would be the way Apple handles its role as a curator of content. The App Store doesn&#x27;t sell every app which is submitted. Apps can be rejected for quality or for content. Should a podcast be rejected because it is a low fi unedited recording of two guys hanging out and talking into shitty microphones? Or because it contains adult content?<p>Perhaps most importantly is the App Store&#x27;s notoriously bad relationship with developers. What qualifies as appropriate &quot;content&quot; and &quot;quality&quot; is not always clear, and Apple doesn&#x27;t strictly follow its own guidelines. If your app is rejected it is basically impossible to appeal and often unclear how it needs to be changed to be accepted.
