QUINCY, ILL. -- There's an app for that!

There's an app for just about everything, but now one type of app for your iPhone is going away.

Apple has banned future applications that tell you where DUI checkpoints are in your area.

This comes three months after four U.S. senators asked three smartphone manufacturers to quit selling such downloadable apps or to remove the DUI checkpoint function.

The maker of BlackBerry smartphones, pulled the apps immediately.

Google has said no to the ban for its Android based phones.

What do you think?  People are weighing in on our Facebook page here and we might even use your comments in our newscast!
