A New York University graduate student, Josh Begley created an app Drone+ dedicated to tracking U.S. drone strikes.
Begley used data based on an Aug.2 interactive article in The Guardian from The Bureau of Investigative Journalism's data.
Apple rejected the app created by Begley on the drones, known as Drone+, which notifies every time the drone strikes in Pakistan, Somalia, or Yemen.
The company said it pulled down the drone app from its App Store as it "ran afoul of Apple standards on objectionable content within apps," reported The New York Times.
Begley is the latest of developers to fall a victim to Apple's policies. His app was rejected twice by Apple's App Store team who told him it was "not useful or entertaining enough" and "excessively objectionable or crude content."
Begley said that his app did not give any graphic pictures of the aftermath of a U.S. attack but merely the location on the map.
The New York Times said Apple spokesman confirmed of the rejection of Drone+ but did not comment further.
Earlier in 2010 an app was rejected by Apple as it featured a satirical political cartoon. But after it had created a huge stir, Apple accepted the app. It had also pulled up a drink-drive checkpoint apps.
