Doh! Homer Simpson App Hits App Store, Gets Nixed by Fox

Posted on 15 Feb 2009 by PatrickJ

Doh, and oops. I had just been looking at the new (and already soon to be deceased) iHomer iPhone app tonight, and wondering whether it was ‘legal’ or would be allowed to fly by the makers of The Simpsons. Looks like that would be a big NO. The screencap above is from the home page of the app developers’ site (the one listed on its App Store page).

This app provide classic quotes from Homer Simpson – some as just text, and some with audio. Something that would prove immensely popular probably. But it looks like its creators didn’t get their ducks in a row in terms of permissions to use the content included in it. Shame, hopefully Homer will get to the App Store for keeps sometime soon …
