I am not an Apple fanboy, but I fully support Apple's decision to remove AppGratis from the store.

It is pointless to argue if it was bribery that caused Pellerin to do this, but it is obvious that she is mistaken.

>but Apple was OK with it being on their store, and approved updates, up until days before it was pulled, and they continue to allow similar apps to operate on their store.

Allowing it in the App Store in the first place is a bad decision, but there is no reason they should have not removed it now. They also removed similar apps several months ago.
