How to Report an App to Apple
Apple's App Store provides access to over 500,000 apps for iPhones, iPods and iPads. One factor that has contributed to the success of the App Store is Apple's review process. Each application is carefully reviewed to ensure it is stable, does not pose a security risk and follows Apple's guidelines for iOS apps. Despite this review process, occasionally an errant app slips through. When this occurs, it is very easy to report the app to Apple.
