Scrambled Apps!

Scrambled Apps!

This app has been rejected by the iPhone App Review team. :(


Scrambled Apps! is a fun new iPhone application that works as a home screen simulator that pretends to “break” a user’s screen. It is a great practical joke to pull on friends and family!

To use Scrambled Apps!, first take a screenshot of your home screen. This is simple by holding down your “home” button while clicking the top-right power button. A flash will indicate that the screenshot has been saved to your camera roll. More detailed instructions for taking screenshots can be found here: http://www.tipb.com/2008/10/06/how-to-take-a-screenshot-with-the-iphone/.

Now, you can open Scrambled Apps! and select “Choose” from the options. Your camera roll will open and allow you to select the screenshot you took, and it will initialize into “game mode”. Once the image has initialized, you simply touch anywhere on screen to start the gravity and drag/drop functionality. If a friend attempts to use your phone while Scrambled Apps! is initialized, it will appear that he broke your phone!

To get back to the options screen, simply give your iPhone/iPod a shake.


Stay tuned … hopefully Apple will re-review this app and accept it in the future…

I cannot believe they would reject that. I saw it work and it was a great joke. Everyone would want it, I would think.

Yea, I agree. I guess they think it infringes on their copyrights and causes “user confusion”.
