MG Siegler:
We’ve already talked at length about the two instances in the past week or so of Schiller personally reaching out to bloggers to set the record straight about a few of the App Store issues. But he has actually taken it a step farther. He’s also been reaching out to individual app makers to talk to them about their apps and offer his assistance in getting them approved, we’ve learned tonight.
And one such app, Rising Card, is now available in the App Store thanks to Schiller.
After two years of a silent Apple, a little transparency seems to be going a long way toward placating the masses. They aren’t just the Evil Empire 2.0 anymore; with a little help from the upper management they seem to be the Apple that actually cared for the quality of their products, including the App store. Hopefully this will translate to improvements for the rest of the arcane approval process.
