We are really happy (& proud) to announce that ‘Tribute Calendar’ is launched with Cydia Store.

Nuskha Labs Interview with AppleGoogle on Rejection of Steve Jobs Tribute Calendar
Interview With the Developer Whose App Got Rejected For Paying Tribute to Steve Jobs
Apple recently rejected an application in the App Store that paid tribute to Steve Jobs. In this interview, we talk directly to the developer of the application to get a behind the scenes picture and discuss about the next steps.
1. What did the App do? How did you conceive the idea for the App?
- Application’s name is Tribute Calendar – its Special Edition app of PhotoCalendar (bit.ly/photocalendar) app lets you create Calendar wallpaper with the image of popular Steve Jobs images. Also there are multiple themes and convenient positions to place the calendar image.
We release special edition of PhotoCalendar about events, personalities we love to honour. Earlier Royal Wedding Calendar ( bit.ly/royalCalendar ) was released with same idea.
Steve Jobs made larger impact to our personal life, and thats how the idea of Tribute Calendar was invoked.
2. Why do you think Apple has rejected your App? Any particular reasons that come to your mind?
Apple has been very sensitive about their trademarks, patents , individuals associated with the Apple. Apple is also very sensitive and selective when it comes to Steve Jobs. Considering the nature of our application, we don’t think there is any thing objectionable at all. But we respect Apple’s decision
3. What will be your next step relating to this App? Would you still be wanting to get this in the hands of users or will you focus on some other project?
We will be releasing the App on Cydia Market, also figuring out the way to reach out normal App Store Customers via next PhotoCalendar ( bit.ly/photocalendar & bit.ly/photocallite ) update.
4. Do you think Apple is right in the decision? How do you think Steve Jobs has changed the world for you (if he has)?
We respect the decision made by Apple, although we are quite disappointed because of rejection. Steve Jobs always been inspiration to us , you can find the simplicity and clarity which Steve liked in our applications.
If you’ve got any other questions for the developer, just ask it in the comments section below and we will make sure it gets answered.

We are really disappointed by the tough stand they are taking in to the Review Procedure for iPhone applications. We respect the decision of the Apple.

Will apple approve program of Memories Calendar?
Update: Our app got approved long ago. There is another news regarding Rejection of Steve Jobs Tribute Calendar iOS app.
Dear all,
Guys thank you for reading this mail , it is about our ‘Memories Calendar’ program, for people like you.
Royal Wedding Calendar is a part of our “Memories Calendar” program.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photocalendar-lite/id424081062?mt=8
We are inviting ordinary people, proud mothers/fathers, loving husbands/wives, caring daughter/sons, artists, photographers and all to be part of the Memories Calendar.
We are extending “Memories Calendar” to all you people. You can gift your personalized application for your loved ones. We really want to help out and reach to you people.
A proud daughter/son can send a wonderful memories calendar to her father/ mother on their birthday/anniversary filled with all sweet memories.
A lovable wife can surprise her husband with memories calendar by sending all the wonderful moments they spent together on anniversaries.
It is up to your imagination how best you treat your loved ones. We at Nuskha Labs , wanted to help you create most memorable gifts for your loved ones.
Memories Calendar is part of under $25 products. All people spend more than this either on cake or card or perfume?
But bigger question is “Will Apple approve this application or a program at whole” ?
As Apple not allow applications which involves individuals?
This will surely populate already populated Apple Store. We are thinking of trying with ‘Test A Flight’ , but this requires a device enabled for Developer.
We really want to create a niche in gifting industry , by providing truly personalized application and also want to create a distribution limited to particular circle lets say to Friends and Family.
You can contact us on nuskhalabs@gmail.com
We invite photo artists and designers also to be part of Memories Calendar.

We are planning alternate solutions, independent of iTunes Store.
Regards,
Nuskha Labs

Lessons learnt from PhotoCalendar - Amazing entrepreneur story
This is the first part of the post Lessons learnt from PhotoCalendar, by co-founder and Sales/Marketing Head of Nuskha Labs.
We at Nuskha Labs always believed in creating simple things with minimalistic design and excellent User Experience.
PhotoCalendar (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photocalendar-lite/id424081062?mt=8) is our first product on iTunes Store.
Our team consists of UI/UX designer and iOS Developers. So here are few good lessons we learnt about iTunes, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Greystripe, Taiwan, India and United States.
- Timing of the application release is as much important as Application itself
- iTunes and iOS users will greet your application open heartedly and you should always focus on user experience
-Apple Rejection can ruin your application timing , so always pre-validate your submissions
-Holiday seasons really matter your Sales (in quantity if Free application)
-United States is not the only iTunes Market you should focus on
-if your application has value , it will surely come as Top of the list
-if you don’t have proper monetizing strategy your Sales will be of no use
- Sharing on Twitter is something very unusual in general , Facebook rocks !!!
