Saucy app Hottest Girls “sold out,” pulled from App Store

Following reports that Apple had approved pornographic app Hottest Girls for release onto the App Store, developer Allen Leung is claiming it has sold out.

Searching for the app yields no results and the direct link to the App Store listing from Leung’s website prompts a message outlining it’s unavailability. Instead of being pulled down by Apple for objectionable content, though, it’s be voluntarily taken off the App Store due to what Leung claims is overwhelming popularity.

“The Hottest Girls app is temporarily sold out,” explains Leung. “The server usage is extremely high because of the popularity of this app. Thus, by not distributing the app, we can prevent our servers from crashing.”

Hottest Girls has been at the forefront of a wave of new apps taking advantage of firmware update 3.0 parental controls enabling restricted access to mature content. Interestingly, Leung also sells a similar app with male models entitled Hottest Guys that has not been viewed as controversial.

Don’t worry if you weren’t able to snatch a copy of Hottest Girls when it was on the App Store because it’s coming back, comforts Leung. “To answer the question on everyone’s mind: Yes, the topless images will still be there when it is sold again.”
