Apple removes app that promotes secret parties during the pandemic

Perhaps our initial question is why this app was allowed in the first place. But Apple just took out Vybe Together from the App Store this week. It's an app that promotes private parties, which shouldn't be happening during the COVID-19 pandemic. The tagline on the company's now taken-down site goes, "Get your rebel on. Get your party on." 

It offered a platform for people who wanted to organize parties and promote these to interested users. Those approved to join the party will get the address two hours before the event. Users had to give their Instagram accounts to prove they weren't spying on the parties to report them. 

But it seems like an irresponsible and dangerous idea considering we needed to be physically distant from those that aren't in our bubble. The company's TikTok and Instagram accounts were taken down, so it seems the app is gone for good. It isn't known if the app contributed to the unauthorized events that have occurred since its launch.
