A controversial hookup app called Bang With Friends, which was banned by Apple for its objectionable content, has sufficiently cleaned up its act and is available again under the new name of Down.

A controversial hookup app called Bang With Friends, which was banned by Apple for its objectionable content, has sufficiently cleaned up its act and is available again under the new name of Down.

According to the New York Daily News, the inventors of BWF say that other apps that connect people who want to hook up get away with it because they are marketed as general dating apps.

Despite its new identity, the app still lets users select the Facebook friends they would be interested in messing around with and pairs up matches, the report said.

References to 'banging' have been removed, so users now say they are 'down,' the report added.
