1) Google Voice: The official Google Voice app which allowed users to use iPhone to access your Google Voice account to place calls, send text messages, and check voicemail. Apple has approved full-fledged Internet telephony apps like Skype and Vonage and other apps that promise free or cheap text messaging but banned Google Voice app. And there is convincing speculation that the rejection was influenced by AT&T

2) I Am Rich: This application throws up a glowing red light and the words “I am rich.” Booyah, bro, let’s go do some shots!. Apple banned this app as it has a policy against function-less apps, and deemed this one fit that bill. This $999.99 application comes as close to literally doing nothing as possible hey, sort of like absurdly rich people! — it technically falls afoul of Apple’s policy.

3) Me So Holy: This app allowed users to paste their face over images of religious figures such as Jesus. Apple banned this app as this was objectionable and offensive content.

4) South Park: The app download wallpapers, assign character photos to contacts, and, most importantly, stream every episode of the show, ever. Apple banned this app as the content of the streaming episodes was potentially offensive.

5) Baby Shaker: In this iPhone game, player’s job is to quiet a crying baby by… (wait for it) shaking it as hard as you can, until it dies. Apple objected to the patently offensive content of the game.
