Car Club App (would it be rejected?)

Have a rather large local car club asking me to make an app. Rather good idea once they presented the idea to me. Club meets, meet the members, mapping to club meets, awards, etc etc Think Apple would ok such an app?

Well now.... That all depends on what you put in the app. Apple want you to make the app interact with the hardware, shake to discover, user generated galleries and that type of thing. If you just build and app with flat HTML with upcoming meets chances are the gates will remain closed. If you add things like a quiz for identify the car bumper (fender to my American friends), user gallery for members to upload photos of their cars/mods etc, make the design slick and compelling and not just something that could be done on a website you have a far better chance. Loads of other things you can do but if they see web app they'll say no. Spend some time thinking of cool features that make the app fun and interactive and you'll get it in. Maybe things like: 1. Identify this car engine - multiple short mp3 files. 2. Quiz - Identify the car from a small section / picture 3. Upload - Users upload their car photos and mods. You get the idea? Yes I hear you say! Well get planning and building.

I will give it a shot. I will add as many things to it as I can. We'll see what happens. Thanks for your input.

No, prefer Android...I know Android much better. But will build for both.

Remember - Apple will not want to accept an app in for such a niche market, how many members in the club? You'll want to make it appeal to greater audience.
