NEW YORK: Apple Inc this week restored a software application to its App Store that let parents control their children's iPhone usage after removing it in February, the company said on July 11.

The removal of the app, OurPact, was criticised by software developers who claimed Apple was shutting down makers of services the iPhone maker also offered. It was among a dozen other applications removed from the store.
