The iPhone Donation Application

I'm blogging today about a article that I recently came across that caught my attention. The article is titled "Fund Raiser's Petition Apple to allow Easy Donating on iPhone", written by Raymund Flandez. The article states that Pay pal designed a application that made it easy for iPhone users to donate to a charity with just two clicks of a button. Two months after the application was available to all iPhone users, it was removed. The application had helped raise $10,000 before being removed from the iPhone. Now many non-profit leader are left wondering why this application was removed. A few of the non-profit leader have reached out to Apple and asked them to reconsider the policy, as well as created a online petition with hope to bring this useful Donating application back.

I chose to blog about this story because I was also left wondering why this application was removed. In my opinion I believe that donating through a application on my smart phone is a great way to give donations because it saves time and is very convenient. You will never have an excuse not to donate because its only two clicks away on your smart phone. Also I was very surprised that an application for donating existed. Its a great idea and just show you how the world is converting more and more to technology which is awesome.
