After "Retro Pod" became popular, the good times are not always good. It was discovered recently that it has disappeared from the Apple App Store. Although Apple and Retro Pod have not responded to this matter, it is speculated that it was forced to be removed by Apple because I don't want my iPod to be copied.
Foreign media The Verge also said that Apple’s App Store guidelines clearly state that imitation is prohibited. In 2019, “Rewound” was also an app that imitated the iPod application, and it was removed from the shelves by Apple after it quickly became popular.
