After an appeal, it looks like Don McAllister’s hope of get­ting his SCO­tu­tor apps back in the iTunes App Store are dead:

I pointed out the huge num­ber of video tuto­ri­als on the iTunes store, but that was met with a vir­tual shrug and the com­ment that it will take them a long time to get round all the video tuto­r­ial apps to review.

I pointed out sev­eral video tuto­r­ial apps that had been reviewed and accepted into the store THIS MONTH but still no capit­u­la­tion on the fact that they con­sid­ered my Apps movies.

I pointed out the rework of the SCO­Tu­tor Apps to included addi­tional app func­tion­al­ity, but still they won’t budge.

See my pre­vi­ous post for more expla­na­tion of what’s hap­pened thus far.

Ter­ri­ble sit­u­a­tion for Don as I know he put a lot of work into mak­ing the iOS apps ini­tially, and then even more work try­ing to get Apple to approve them upon removal. The only hope now is that some­one higher up at Apple sees the com­plaint and reverses the deci­sion in Don’s favour.

For what­ever rea­son, the SCO­tu­tor for Mac apps are still avail­able in the Mac App Store. Time to pick one up and sup­port Don:
