Appy Go Lucky today released their first iPhone App. It was a long hard slog, involving calls form Apple HQ in Cupertino and bizarre conversations about the meaning of, Gypo.

On the whole our experience with Apple was very positive, they showed a genuine interest in expanding the boundaries of the often restrictive App Policies.

Profanity

With over 150,000 profane phrases available, the Profanity App for the iPhone and iPod Touch is essential for anyone looking to correctly label their friends and enemies. Just give the app a quick shake and you’ll be provided with insults ranging from the almost innocent ‘You vacant clumsy boob!’ right up to the sort of blue language that would take a seasoned dockside worker by surprise.

Profanity is the first in a long line of experimental iPhone Apps and Appy Go Lucky are looking to expand the languages and scope of “the sweariest available”.
