Drone on Your iPhone: Apple Drops Objections to App Tracking U.S. Strikes Overseas

A new iPhone app has been released that tracks every reported U.S. drone strike overseas. Over the course of two years, Apple rejected different versions no less than five times. Now, for the first time, the app is finally available under the name of Metadata+, created by New York University graduate student Josh Begley. Madiha Tahir, a filmmaker whose documentary „Wounds of Waziristan“ looks at the drone war, says Apple stalled the app’s approval for political reasons before Begley found a workaround.
