Apple censors what iPhone users can access on their device

Thank you for your interest in downloading the PVDN App for iOS (Apple devices). Our App offers exclusive articles, tailored news for your interests, and emergency alerts when they matter the most. Users of the PVDN App rave about the ease of use and the smoother experience compared to the website.

Unfortunately, for users of Apple products, Apple chooses which content you can access on your device, and Apple has decided to block the PVDN App.

We have paid the required listing fee, but Apple refuses to refund it. They suggested that if we wanted a prolonged, expensive legal battle, Apple would win, but we were welcome to try and find an attorney. We have sought answers as to why Apple will not make our app available to Apple product users. They admit there is no problem or risk with the App, but they do not believe it is something Apple users would want.

We can only assume this is another example of the tech industry deciding what content reaches our screens. Big Tech censorship is the most dangerous.

If Apple eventually accepts the PVDN App, which we are no longer actively seeking, we will make the download link available, but we will not offer new updates or support for the iOS App. It has been months of battle and thousands of dollars. We have no interest in supporting the Apple brand going forward.

We apologize to all Apple product users. This is not a choice that we have made. Apple has our app in their hands, and they can make it available to you if they wish. For now, Apple will continue to tell you what you can and cannot access on your phone.

What other company controls what you can do with their product after you purchase it? I cannot think of another company with such an ego.
