Just a friendly reminder: Apple has hundreds of reviewers, and turn over is undoubtedly high. The reviews are highly subjective with the Guidelines being what they are and worded how they are, you're going to have different interpretations among the pool of reviewers. Asking for consistency out of that system is insane. That's why there's an appeal process. Taking to the internets to bitch about it and inciting the masses makes headlines, but is just bad business.


You're giving Apple a free pass.

Reviewers should have sufficient training to be able to make sensible calls without having to go through an appeals process.


I could not possibly care less how Apple is organized internally.

A company should not expose their internal bullshit to the outside world. Apple set this system up. If they are unable to run it consistently then they have only themselves to blame. They should either fix it or scrap it.

Nah, bitching publicly works, all those companies are incredibly sensitive to media stories. Always bitch before the appeals process, make sure their PR department notice you.


Taking to the internets to bitch about it and inciting the masses makes headlines, is just the only thing that realistically works. It's unprofessional to use highly subjective guidelines.


A rejection with no proposed solution is the most extreme result of an app review. I would think that would get reviewed by someone higher up.


It would be smarter to feed back a rejection through the pipe as a new submission and reject on consensus or majority.


That makes me happy. I remember you mentioning somewhere before about having reached sustainability.
