The Issue

For over ten years, people have enjoyed movies, listened to music, sung karaoke, and connected with friends on Rave. Our app was downloaded over 225 million times from all over the world. We built a community. If you were part of that community, then you know what we are talking about.


Then, on August 13th, 2025, Apple removed Rave from the App Store.


We asked them why, but they wouldn't tell us what the problem was. Their reasons were vague and kept changing. They refused to meet with us, or even speak with us on the phone.


On December 19th, they deleted our Developer Account, locking Rave users out of our Rave macOS app by falsely labelling us as 'malware', preventing 11.4M users who signed in with Apple from accessing their Rave account, and silencing notifications to Rave users.


Apple decided to kill Rave. They're one of the largest companies in the world, and we're a family-owned, 12 person company from Canada. Even though we're right, they think they can crush us like they have so many others in the industry.


But we are ready to fight and won't back down.  And that's why we're asking for your support.


If Rave meant something to you, if you want to help us rebuild, then please consider signing this petition.


We're fighting for our users, and for small tech companies everywhere, who live in fear of big tech's anticompetitive and unfair behavior.


Rave is a small company, but a huge community. If we band together, we can stand up to monopolistic behavior and defend the platforms we love. Please consider supporting us in our hour of need, so that we may return Rave to you.
