Nude Images Now Appearing In Check myHottie – This Is Getting Old

Now we know this is getting old … nude images found within Apple approved iPhone apps … but lately nudes (or porn if you will – the matter is subjective) have been appearing at an alarming rate (assuming Apple’s no nudity policy is still in effect – which is a confusing one as-is). Below is a summary of apps which contained nude images:

June 25 – Hottest Girls

July 01 – BeautyMeter

July 30 – theXchange

Less than two months since the first iPhone app naked image was discovered, the Check myHottie app now joins the infamous group of aforementioned “nudie” apps.

Check-myHottie-Title

Check myHottie was released today around 12:30 am PST. Similar to BeautyMeter, this is a “Rate Me” app, where images are uploaded by the user and then rated others. Within 12 hours of release, Check myHottie began displaying topless photos.

Check-myHottie-1   Check-myHottie-2

As with any app containing user generated content, it is very difficult to monitor and enforce any restrictions. While Check myHottie’s developer, Macrominds, made a conscious effort to restrict and defend against inappropriate content (by implementing a “Flag” notification button) … it seems such attempts futile. The fact remains … apps which contain user generated content (especially those “Rate My Picture” apps) have a high propensity of containing nude images.

In the case of “Rate Me” apps, Apple might consider requiring developers to approve images before they go live, rather than relying on users to flag content after the fact. Obviously cumbersome, but perhaps a method to avoid future App Store nip slips.

    I HOPE THERE IS PICTURES OF 15 YEAR OLDS AGAIN. I missed the last bunch 😉 😛

  • Is that Megan Fox in the pic to the right? .. sorry my mind drifted off for a second there…

    On a more serious note, (that's her isn't it!!!) I agree that it may help if developers have to approve images before they go live, but it may not be very practical if thousands of pics are uploaded everyday. Regardless, Apple will have to come up with a solution that works if they want to keep away the “nip slips”

  • All those tits obscure the fact that the app's description is asking you to upload pics of your loved ones WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.

    No worry about that happening. It seems the users are too busy uploading pix from their pro porn stashes.

    Yeah. Let's make them pull Safari too, because all of that user-generated nudity and smut out there.

    You guys are partially responsible for Apple's schizophrenia in the review process. As long as people hold them accountable for any slightly immoral action any user of any app takes, we are going to continue to have a gunshy Apple not sure what is okay to approve.

    Back off, willya? This isn't junior high. Yes, there's smut in the world. Yes, there's stuff that some people don't want to see or even shouldn't see. But as long as you can just as easily get to the same stuff via Safari, let's stop making a big deal of it every time a nipple makes its way into an App on the App Store, 'kay?

  • Dear Anonymous (if that's even your real name 😉 ):

    Thanks for the visit and insight. While we don't see eye-to-eye on the Safari vs Apple Approved Third Party Apps “thing” … we would simply like to point in the case of Check myHottie, Apple WISHES a simple nip slip or slightly immoral action was the case.

    The difference is that apple actually APPROVES this smut.

  • jamieknight

    Sounds just like the real or fake app. I wonder if they display pics like this?

  • LOL @ Real Or Fake app … we just tweeted about this the other day,
    indicating our disappointment it was not a boobie app 🙂
