True Knowledge, the brains behind a popular Siri alternative for iOS devices, received a note from Apple that the company will shoot down the popular 99-cent download from its mobile bazaar.

That would see data being sent to servers owned by the respective companies, but wouldn’t make any of it available for advertising.
