How did this app passed Apple's App Approval process? I think they have a clause that they will deny apps that might lead to these kind of pictures.

Also I think you should protect those persons privacy using black bars on their eyes?

You are only filtering content already available on Facebook, there are many apps that do something similar. As far as the black bar on the screenshots, I actually got everyone on the preview pictures to agree to be on the App Store and website, they are all people I know and actual results from a search using the app.

I think as soon as this gets on apple's radar it will be removed from the app store. Applications have been removed for less, sorry.

Thanks for the feedback. I respectfully disagree and hope that is not the case. In short, the app is an image recognition search engine for social networks. Beach and pool pics is the first "search keyword" we are using since we assume it is one of the more popular, but there are more to come.

Ahh then the privacy stuff is ok. Thanks.

But when Apple take a closer look at it they might take it off since they removed other apps for a lot less.
