Removing and restoring of applications on the App Store is an old story, but we are still trying to figure our exactly why apps are removed or restored. Keeping track of disappearance of Apps, here we give you the master list of removed and restored applications.

I Am Rich: This application was retailed at $999.99 and did nothing. The developer just made a cool $6000 in one day and the app vanished from the App Store after purloining 8 rich iPhone users, at least one whom purchased the app by mistake. The application displayed a red glowing gemstone a kind of bright light that traps moths. It is not known whether Apple took out the app or the developer simply realized it is stupid and pull down the app himself.

iPint:This was the application that let you play around with a glass filled to the brim with beer. A virtual party application. The reason for the removal of this application from the App Store is not known. Oh, it is possible that iPint has caused too much virtual drunken fights.

Light: This application made the iPhone glow brighter than the default brightness of the phone when you open it. It actually makes the iPhone experience full brightness. This turns out to be a violation of Apple SDK and vanished from the App Store.

PhoneSaber: PhoneSaber was removed by the maker, Mac Box. THQ Wireless, license owner of all Star War Games for mobile phones finds the application directly linked to star war weapons and pushed the maker of the application to strip it from the App Store. The reason for this game being pulled down is purely tradesmark infrigement issue.

NetShare: NetShare is not likely to return to the App Store. The reason for its removal is not known either. The application was retailed for $9.99 and is one of the most missed and handy applications that turns the iPhone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot wherever there is cell signal. The whole dream was short-lived because the application was pulled down 20 minutes after it was deployed.

Slasher: Slasher was an entertainment application that displayed a sharp kitchen knife and made a horror sound when users make a stabbing action. Britons cried foul to Apple for deploying an application that indirectly advocates violence. Slasher was taken down from the App Store for being too violent and weird.

The Wisdom: The Wisdom was a Japanese/English dictionary. Before most of us get to know the existence of the application it was taken down from the store without a trace. Not sure who is responsible: Apple or the developer.

3-Tuple: This was an addictive and simple card matching game and deployed for free. No news of it making back to the App Store and the reason for removal is not known.

Restored Applications: These are the list of applications that disappeared mysteriously but which made their way back to the App Store shelves:

Aurora Feint: Aurora Feint is an impressive free and addictive game, often compared to the equally addictive game Fire Drop. The game vanished from the App Store for a few days for privacy and security reasons. The game was placed back when the developers rectified the issue.

Box Office: Box Office was removed from the App Store because of trademark conflict . Now Playing (Formerly: Box Office) is the new name of the application and is still free. This is a handy movie browsing application.

Cube Runner: Cube Runner went missing from the App Store for some days. The developers mistakenly submitted the wrong version of the game when they submitted an update to the game. It is back on the App Store and is one of the top free games.

Tuner: The reason for Tuner being pulled down from the App Store was another issue of trademark infringement. It is back again on the App Store letting users tuned to more than 1000 internet radio stations.

Twinkle:Twinkle was taken down for security reasons and is now back on the App Store. This is one of the most popular social networking applications which help you build a network of friends and update your twitter account.
