Apple Continues To Right App Store Wrongs. Obama “Hope” App Is Go.

"First, this is another example of Apple going back and reviewing a rejection, and realizing they made a mistake.

Second, it's offering the wronged developers an "expedited review". Certainly, that's the least they can do for these developers as some have likely lost quite a bit of money due to ridiculous rejections (though this particular app is free).

Third, while we're not entirely sure this has just started, the inclusion of App Store reviewer's names is something that we haven't seen in emails previously. For example, in the last round of emails Start Mobile got letting them know why their app was rejected, it was just signed "iPhone Developer Program". Now, we get "Amy". Of course, maybe Amy is happy to attach her name to a nice email, and perhaps names still aren't used in rejections, but at the very least this would seem to further humanize an App Store process that has seemed to be run by random robots up until this point."
