Looks like an unofficial iPhone and iPadapp that let you view Wikis site content and follow the Wikis Twitter account on the go has been removed from the App app store rlier today. The app used to be available here (here’s the Google cache).
From the Wikis App’s description:
“The Wikis app gives instant access to the world’s most documented age of top secret memos and other confidential government documents.”
Basically the paid app was selling Wikis content (available for free) for $1.99. Its entry into the app store on December 17th was actually surprising, as is usually quite strict and somewhat vague about its app approval standards. Wikis and founder Julian Assange arequite controversial, to put it lightly but I’m not sure if the app directly violated anything in ’s TOS.
In the past couple of weeks corporate biggies Amazon, PayPal, Mastercard, Visa and Bank of America have all tried to disassociate themselves in one way or another from Wikis. If this isn’t some kind of glitch, has plenty company.
I’ve contacted both and and the developer for more information and will update this post when they respond.
Thanks: Appsfire
Update: Developer Igor Barinov responds with the following official status update, showing that the app was indeed removed from sale.
