Hello Apple Developer Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently submitted an astrology-related app to the App Store, and it was rejected with the following reason: "Your app primarily features astrology, horoscopes, palm reading, fortune telling, or zodiac reports. As such, it duplicates the content and functionality of many other similar apps currently available on the App Store."
I would like to seek some clarification and guidance on how to address this issue and bring my app in compliance with Apple's guidelines. I understand that there are similar apps available, but I believe my app offers unique and valuable features that differentiate it from others.
Specifically, I would like to know:
-
What criteria does Apple use to determine whether an app is considered duplicative of others in the same category?
-
Are there any specific guidelines or best practices to follow when submitting astrology or similar apps to ensure they are approved?
-
Is there a way to highlight the distinctive features of my app that make it unique and provide a better user experience compared to other similar apps?
-
Are there any precedents or examples of successful astrology apps that were approved on the App Store, and if so, what factors contributed to their approval?
I want to ensure that my app complies with Apple's policies and provides value to users while avoiding any issues related to duplication. Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
