No porn's allowed in Apple's App Store, but a clever developer has managed to flash some flesh through an image-viewing app.
Called forChan, the app specializes in viewing image boards on the web. The app comes preloaded with images of nude dogs, but with a few tweaks you can customize the app to view naked ladies.
The steps, provided by iPhone app review site Krapps, are as follows:
Step 1: Download forChan
Step 2: Via your iPhone, visit iHustleApps.com/iPhone and press the “forChan” button
Step 3: Select one of the 15 “adults only” categories
Step 4: Copy the displayed URL to your clipboard
Step 5: Paste the URL in the Store URL section of forChan
And just like that — bow chicka bow wow — you've got porn! (We'll spare you the screenshot since we trust you've been educated in human anatomy.) Though you could forego all these steps by simply launching Safari and loading a porn site.
Regardless, it's not easy to sneak nude images into the App Store. Previous apps containing nudity, such as BeautyMeter and HottestGirls, quickly vanished after receiving press attention. When Steve Jobs introduced the App Store on June 9, 2008, porn was at the top of the list of content that would not be allowed in apps.
“There are going to be some apps that we’re not going to distribute,” Jobs said. “Porn, malicious apps, apps that invade your privacy.”
Now's your time to place bets on how long Apple takes to ban forChan, if the company so decides. It's a $1 app in the App Store.Updated 2 p.m. PDT: forChan is no longer in the App Store. That was fast.Download Link [iTunes]See Also:
