Waiting on Apple to Approve ‘Jesus App’ for iPhone

AppTech Corp. has completed its first application designed for the Christian community throughout the world, the company announced today. It is called “the Jesus app.”

AppTech Global, Inc. is a subsidiary of AppTech Corp. It develops mobile application market places serving emerging countries throughout the world, including Latin America, Brazil, China, India, Japan and the USA.

Focused on multi-platform mobile apps designed to run on the Apple iPhone, Google Android Nexus One, Research In Motion, Microsoft Mobile, Palm, Verizon Droid, the O-Phone in China, and others, AppTech aims to find more and more successful developers of English language apps and translate their titles into major emerging market languages.

AppTech will establish sales and marketing of the apps, and will be paid a royalty on all sales, the company said.

According to AppTech, developers will thus generate additional income on their existing apps via multi-lingual sales in emerging markets throughout the world.

These include Brazil, China, India, and Latin America.

“The Jesus app has been submitted to the iPhone App Store in English and is being translated into Spanish and Portuguese,” AppTech Corp. said in a report issued today.

In the unlikely scenario that Apple does not approve the Jesus app, it will be interesting to see on what grounds it refused its entrance in the App Store.

“Approval to commence sales is expected from the App Store in the near future,” AppTech said.

"AppTech will donate twenty percent (20%) of all company revenue from sales of the $.99 ‘Jesus App’ to benefit the American Cancer Society,” the company confirmed.

Unfortunately, Softpedia cannot offer more details about the Jesus app to its readers, since AppTech themselves failed to provide any.

But all will be revealed in good time.

We take comfort in knowing that Apple will most likely not want to upset any divine forces by rejecting an app bearing the name of God’s son.

CEO Eric Ottens said, "AppTech intends to develop a continuing series of applications that will benefit various non-profit organizations throughout the world from the sales revenue generated to the company.”

“We believe that it is entirely possible to do well while doing good at the very same time," Eric Ottens concluded.

AppTech plans to focus its attention on devs whose apps have already completed stringent QA/QC and malicious software review from major carriers.

The company will bill through wireless carriers on customers’ monthly bills, according to its web site (http://www.apptechglobal.com/develop.html).

Isnt against apple terms of service to announce games that are not approved? Sounds like grounds enough to pull it regardless of content.

Sounds very Monty-Python, a little jesus waving its arm's, as you try to hammer it to a cross, or maybe it has a feature to let you know when you have sinned - a smiling devil pops its head up from the bottom of the screen.
