Yes, of course it was intended as a joke! Rene played along. The line in the original story which says "some people might say that this is just a humourous attempt to drum up some publicity" seems to have been overlooked by many...

But I should say that the reviewers probably did see it - all easter eggs have to be disclosed and documented when an app submitting to the store, and this one certainly was.

Chances are that Apple and it’s reviewers never saw this during the app approval process.

Is everyone in this thread retarded? The company did this as an obvious poke at the rejection process, and Apple, being able to laugh at themselves, let it through. I applaud both the PCalc for making the joke, and Apple for being jovial enough to let this update go through. Kudos to both sides!

Is the word boobless really profanity? Really no more than pee or po op.

Kids don’t have to turn their calculators upside down, they can just turn them around horizontally.

When apple sees this, could it possibly start a whole ordeal with apple rejecting any and every calculator update until every math app on the AppStore has censorship???

The free PCalc Lite version also has this, so you can see it for yourself without spending $10 on it.

this is hilarious, and I think it’s a brilliant comedic take on Apple’s censorship problems.

I have to say this is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Thank god that Apple are not in government or we would be in a ‘demolition man’ era. It is just not cricket.

That’s hilarious. I’m surprised Apple didn’t mandate this censorship.
