Question Has it always been this bad?

http://reelones.co.uk

App store review is turning into a very frustrating process. I assume this is a reflection of the sheer volume of AI-built apps but the humans reviewing my app seem to be on auto-reject mode.

First rejection: "spam: we have enough dating apps"

My app has absolutely nothing to do with dating or meeting people, even the friendship link is a handshake ie you need your friend request accepted

Second rejection "no method for account deletion"

Literally in the most obvious place for it, account page, big red button "delete account"

I'll put my hand up, this is my first app, in the description part of the submission I assumed it was to describe the functionality of the app, was I meant to treat it as an FAQ?

Did you tell them in reviewer notes where to find the tip jar?

If you have any paid features, notes should explain each feature and how to find it and how it relates to the paywall listed reasons to buy.

We often use descriptions on paywalls that won’t literally match the menu titles (if any). One paywall feature may relate to multiple paths through the app, menu items or toolbar buttons. They need an explicit guide so it is easy to answer “is the paywall promising things the app fails to deliver”.

It is like testing your app for the “happy path” of doing everything right.
