Two developers denounce apple for its abusive position

Apple is running into trouble over its policy on the App Store. The European Commission has already shown its discontent with the way the company operates, and they are investigating the company. Now, two developers denounce the company. These are the developers of the Kidslox and Qustodio apps, both aimed at parental control and seeking to limit the applications to which children have access.

Two developers denounce Apple for its abusive position

Last year the two applications were removed from the App Store, as was the case with many other developers with similar apps. It could be related to the function use time (screen time).

Problems for Apple

A year ago, the time of use function was introduced, which allows users on iPad or iPhone to determine how long children can use the phone, in addition to controlling and limiting which applications or which web pages they can visit. Therefore, a parental control app. But just when this function was launched on the market, these types of apps were eliminated in the App Store.

So they have made the decision to report. Although from Apple they say that the function of time of use is not the reason why they have made such a decision. Rather, these apps have access to too much child data.

These apps aren't the first to complain about the App Store's policies and Apple's abusive position of power. Others like Spotify did it weeks ago. It should not be ruled out that more apps will soon follow in this regard.
