The app, dubbed Good2Go, allowed users to give 'affirmative consent' prior to sexual activity

Despite all of its developer's good intentions, an app designed to tackle sexual assault has shut down. 

Dubbed Good2Go, the app allowed users to give 'affirmative consent' prior to sexual activity.

But to do so, they had to tell the app who they were sleeping with, when they were doing it, and how drunk or sober they were.

They were then advised as to whether they could consent to sex.

Lee Ann Allman created the app after speaking to her teenage children about sexual assault on American college campuses.

However, earlier this week Apple removed it from its App Store citing that its developer guidelines do not allow 'excessively objectionable or crude content.'

The firm did not give the exact reasons why the app was pulled. 

This led to Ms Allman deciding to remove the free app from the Android store, Google Play, and shut down the site completely.

Ms Allman told Slate Magazine that, while Apple didn't provide details about its decision to remove the app, 'they did say it was not deemed to be crude.'

She added that she hopes to relaunch the app next year, without the registration steps. 

It is hoped it will be used by schools to talk about sexual assault and consensual sex.  

When the app launched, Ms Allman, who also runs Sandton Technologies, said she hoped the technology would help facilitate necessary conversations between sexual partners and encourage them to reflect on their sobriety. 

Last month, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a law requiring all state colleges to adopt a policy of unambiguous, affirmative consent by students engaged in sexual activity.

The so-called 'yes means yes' law will be the first in the nation to make affirmative consent language a central tenet of school sexual assault policies, proponents said.

The legislation, passed by the California State Senate in August as part of a nationwide effort to curb sexual assaults on U.S. campuses, defines consent as 'an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity.'

It also states that silence and a lack of resistance do not signify consent and that drugs or alcohol do not excuse unwanted sexual activity.

The White House has declared sex crimes to be 'epidemic' on U.S. college campuses, with one in five students falling victim to sex assault during their college years. 

Ms Allman's app was said to have been a direct response to this legislation. 

To be accepted onto the App Store, apps must be functional in that they must not crash, include hidden features or work in a way other than what the developer advertised.

They must also have a user function and developers can't charge for app that doesn't do anything.

Any app that is defamatory, offensive, mean-spirited, or likely to place the targeted individual or group in harms way will be rejected.

Apps that present excessively objectionable or crude content will be rejected along with apps that are designed to upset or disgust users.

Apps containing pornographic material, defined by Webster's Dictionary as 'explicit descriptions or displays of sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings', will be rejected.

In summary, Apple said: 'We will reject Apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, "I'll know it when I see it". And we think that you will also know it when you cross it.'
