We previously reported that Return7’s CastCatcher 1.3 update had been rejected by Apple due to “excessive” bandwidth usage, and briefly discussed how fragmented and odd Apple’s app approval process really was, and how they really needed to straighten up.

CastCatcher is an internet radio application that works similarly to many other applications in the App Store, so Apple’s rejection of this particular app was a bit of a mystery.

Fortunately, Return7 reports that Apple has now approved their update to CastCatcher, and Version 1.3 should appear in the App Store shortly. It’s not clear what triggered Apple’s change of heart, and the company said it was not specified to them why the reversal took place.

It bears repeating: Apple really needs to streamline and clarify their app approval process, badly. Too many stumped developers are sitting around, sometimes for weeks or months, wondering what they did or didn’t do to get approved. It would not only developer relations, but would help more unique and cool apps for the iPhone to become available, thus helping the app market for the iPhone and engendering good will among iPhone users.
