Apple Continues to Reject Subscription-Based iPad Apps from Magazine Publishers

The good news: Time Inc. is very proud of the subscription iPad app it designed for Sports Illustrated, touting it in the print issue of the magazine. The bad news: Apple will still not allow the app to be sold via its iTunes store, forcing Time and other magazine publishers to sell single issues rather than subscription-based apps, AllThingsD reports.

And the worst news, according to AllThingsD, is that executives at Time, Hearst, Condé Nast, and other publishers say they can’t get any clear feedback from Apple as to why their subscription apps are being rejected — at the last minute, in the case of SI.
