“#Group battling App<\/a>le’s App Store rules sees membership grow<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The chorus of voices calling for Apple to change its App Store practices is growing.<\/p>\n

Less than a month after music streamer Spotify and Tinder parent Match Group joined The Coalition for App Fairness \u2014 which is pushing for legislation that will force Apple to cut its steep fees \u2014 the list of companies that want in on the action is stretching into the hundreds.<\/p>\n

The Washington, DC-based nonprofit has received more than 400 membership requests from developers who for the first time feel able to call Apple out for the 30-percent fee it takes from in-app purchases.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outpouring of interest we\u2019ve received has exceeded our expectations,\u201d Sarah Maxwell, a spokeswoman for the coalition, told the Washington Post. \u201cAs we bring on new members and hear their stories, it\u2019s evident that too many developers have been unable to make their voices heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coalition first made headlines when \u201cFortnite\u201d developer Epic Game<\/a>s joined, along with Spotify and Match, after it fired the first shot at Apple over the summer. Epic provoked a fight when it implemented a new payments system for its ultra-popular game which would allow it to avoid the iPhone maker\u2019s traditional revenue cut.<\/p>\n

\u201cFortnite\u201d has since been booted from the App Store, along with all of Epic\u2019s other games, and is embroiled in a high-stakes lawsuit with Apple.<\/p>\n

Among the 10 \u201cApp Store Principles\u201d the coalition is demanding is that \u201cNo developer should be required to pay unfair, unreasonable or discriminatory fees or revenue shares.\u201d<\/p>\n

New names on the coalition\u2019s roster include popular yoga app Down Dog and subscription ad blocker Scroll.<\/p>\n

Scroll CEO Tony Haile told the paper that he was no longer afraid of drawing Apple\u2019s ire for complaining about the fees.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think being muzzled is good for anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this month, the\u00a0House Judiciary Committee\u2019s antitrust panel excoriated Apple, Facebook<\/a>, Google and Amazon for their monopoly power, comparing them to the robber barons of yesteryear.<\/p>\n

Apple in particular was singled out for its high App Store fees.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
