We are working closely with these developers to quickly get their apps back on the App Store, while ensuring customer privacy and security is not at risk".

The applications should not be overloaded as it reduces the efficiency of the device and minimizes the multi tasking environment. For the security breaches, apps with so-called root certificates, route user data to servers where it can be analyzed. It helps in opening the door for network providers to view encrypted traffic, leaving users vulnerable to data breaches.
One of the removed app is Been Choice, which has attracted attention for its ability to block advertising in apps. The ads sometimes irritate the user by flashing and filling the window each time. It therefore, helps to block the ads, but since it has not been used by various of the users, the company has removed the slang.
