So if Apple say "Your app contains content or features that facilitate, enable, or encourage an activity that is not legal in all the locations in which the app is available.".

Does that mean that all of the hunting, shooting, contract killing etc. games don't have an impact? You can download masses of games that involve killing lifelike human characters with blood and gore....... Last time I checked (joke BTW) I was under the impression that these games aren't always promoting a legal activity. Apple have double standards...they should give the consumer the choice of what apps they choose and let the consumer make their own educated and informed choice. No Apple are loosing market share in so many countries.

I don't really see what all the fuss is about?

If you have already purchased the app and downloaded it, along with synchronising whatever iOS device you have with iTunes on your PC / Mac, then the app file sits on your PC / Mac.

So long as you don't deliberately delete it, it stays in your iTunes folder (usually in a subfolder called something like Mobile applications).

Whatever iOS device you then link and connect to iTunes, you will be able to add it to now or in the future!

Once you have bought and downloaded the app it's yours to keep.

In the same way that waterstones stopping selling a book, doesn't mean that your own copy disappears from your own bookshelf.

I guess if you are ultra paranoid and wanted to make sure you can maintain access to the app, go to the relevant folder on your computer find the app file and make a copy of it somewhere else.

If you ever lose it you can simply add it back to the folder and iTunes at a later date!

Time to abandon Apple for a more tolerant phone manufacturer me thinks...

So that means if I buy the next iPhone I should be able to load to that device as I already downloaded it now.
How about updates to the app.
I am not too keen on the way the app user interface works.
The letters are far too small to read while driving and too much space is used for unnecessary information.
If I have the app running in my car or bike, I don't care about the next 15 cameras on the route. I only care about the next one.
I also don't care about the once on the other side of the road as they won't affect me.
That would give so much more space for the information of the next coming camera like distance etc.
Also the reporting of cameras should be possible from the main screen without searching. Once I passed it I won't remember.
I like CamerAlert as the price is right, the forum is a great addition and you guys clearly know what you are talking about, but the usability has to improve
Have a look at iCoyote. Their user interface is great, but they are useless in everything else beside being far more expensive.
