Apple's Latest Feud: Rejecting Hey Calendar App Sparks Controversy
Originally Published 2 years ago — by TechCrunch
Hey, the email service from Basecamp, is in a feud with Apple again, this time over the rejection of its new calendar app from the App Store. Apple's reasoning is similar to the rejection of Hey's email app four years ago, as non-paying users can't use the app after downloading it and new users can't sign up through the app. Hey's co-founder argues that other apps like Google Calendar and Netflix allow logins gated with payments outside Apple's ecosystem, and Apple uses one iCloud ID to provide a subscription to a suite of apps. Apple didn't immediately comment on the situation.
