Vemedio (the makers of Instacast) along with the folks at Flattr appealed to Apple that this was ridiculous… but Apple issued a final decision rejecting the app. Instacast, a popular app for downloading and listening to podcasts on the iOS platform, integrated Flattr back in February, but in early May the arbitrary gatekeepers at Apple rejected the app because the Flattr integration went against Apple’s demands that all in-app payments go through its own system.
And some podcasting/podcatching apps have tried to accommodate this. Apparently, simple integration allowing people to designate some money for podcasters has just “felt right” for lots of users who do exactly that.
One purpose for which micropayment solution Flattr (which we use here on Techdirt) has certainly caught on is providing a way for people to support podcasts.
