Apple dropped recently an app in their store promising people to "free" them from their homosexuality. However, Google's Play Store and several Android platforms are yet to make their move on removing the Gay Cure app.

Setting Captives Free is the organisation behind the controversial app. They are a nondenominational ministry under Mike Cleveland. The organisation is committed in giving people the chance to remove their sins through teachings from Jesus Christ. Currently, they offer mobile applications on their Web site. Some are information materials while others are interactive.

Applications have one goal: help people have a sin-free life.

However, it was one program that caught the attention of many: "Door of Hope: Freedom from the Bondage of Homosexuality." All Out, a group advocating for gay rights, pointed out the 6-day interactive course available in the app stores. The app is available for Android and iOS phones. According to the description, the app is omitted to "teach you to enjoy a newfound relationship with the Lord and how to find freedom from homosexuality."

"Friend, before we discover God's method of freeing us from homosexuality, we must first agree with God on the issue of homosexuality," a section of the course description says.

All Out released a petition asking Google and Apple to take down the app from their stores.

. "Gay 'cures'? There shouldn't be an app for that," All Out uploaded a statement on their Web site.

"Apple and Google have policies against these kinds of apps but so far this one has escaped their notice. Sign now to tell them to drop this and all other gay 'cure' apps!" the group added.

Over 94,000 people supported the petition. Apple addressed the situation by removing the app on their Web site, citing the following clause from their store's guidelines: "Apps that present excessively objectionable or crude content will be rejected."

"Apps that are primarily designed to upset or disgust users will be rejected."
