"Bang with Friends" was pulled from Apple's App Store on Friday, just a little over one week following the app's debut. Bang With Friends is a hookup app that lets users anonymously pick which of their Facebook friends they'd like to "bang" and then notifies users when there's a match. Apple has not given an official statement on why the app was removed but the action has been unsurprising given the app’s risque subject matter.

- BWF was founded by ZIIBRA monetization platform owner Omri Mor and HeardAboutYou dating site founder Colin Hodge.
- The Bang With Friends mobile web page has posted a message saying "we're working with Apple to get BWF back into the App Store shortly."
