iPhone parental control app ‘OurPact’ back on App Store

Apple Inc this week restored a software application to its App Store that let parents control their children’s iPhone usage after removing it in February, the company said on Thursday.

The removal of the app, OurPact, was criticised by software developers who claimed Apple was shutting down makers of services the iPhone maker also offered. It was among a dozen other applications removed from the store.

At the time, Apple said it removed the apps due to data privacy concerns.
