Marco Arment pulled his ad-blocking app Peace from Apple’s App Store on Friday after just 36 hours. In that time, Peace rose to the position of No. 1 paid app. Arment is offering users who paid for Peace refunds, and suggested alternative apps for users who still want to block ads on Apple’s iOS operating system. Arment writes: “I’ve learned over the last few crazy days that I don’t feel good making one and being the arbiter of what’s blocked. … Even though I’m ‘winning,’ I’ve enjoyed none of it.”
