Apple Rejects Apps Integrating Micro-Payments Service Flattr, Company Claims “It’s Not the End”

flattr-logoIt may not be the end, but the prognosis doesn't look good. Social micro-payments platform Flattr is taking an unkind hit in terms of its future growth opportunities on mobile, the company details on its blog this morning. After being integrated into popular third-party podcast manager Instacast back in February, Apple decided at the beginning of May to reject the app from the iTunes App Store due to its Flattr integration. The result? The only way Instacast could get back into the app store was to change the user flow in the app to direct the actual "flattr" (as the micro-payment process is called) to take place in the Safari web browser instead. Not an ideal user experience, Apple admits, but it's as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.
