Apple, will you let us (and 50.000 visitors) down?
In two days, there is a big dance festival in the Netherlands, called Dance Valley. Together with Hyves, UDC, and Heineken Refreshing sounds, we have created a mobile map for it. Also for the iPhone. However, it’s been two weeks since we’ve applied to Apple, and we’re still not in the app store.
It’s a nice application with a GPS enabled festival map, the line-up, all the info points (like toilets, food, etc) and it has a connection with a big Hyves screen that you can post your updates to.
I admit it, we were a bit late, but it’s about time that Apple puts the us in the store. We have 2 days left, and we haven’t heard anything from them yet. We got the request from Heineken very late, and we’ve worked hard to apply to the store in time.
This issue with uncertainty about how long the admission process will take and whether Apple will actually approve the application will hold us (and most probably also other companies) back to develop such an event based application again.
For people without an iPhone, you can get the application by filling in your phone number below:
