Ever get one of these for a quiz app. I have the app listed under Education. 6.4 We found that your app uses Game Center in a non-standard manner, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. The intended use of Game Center is to complement game apps or game functionality within an app. However, we noticed that your app does not contain any game play or game features. It would be appropriate to modify your app to either remove Game Center functionality from your binary or add game functionality.

The reviewer did not stumble upon your quiz == Appeal the rejection give directions to quiz 2. You gave your example of using your new quiz plugin using technical drawings for a more detailed Q and A (which is awesome by the way) Did the reviewer look at this and say this is more of an multiple choice exam than a quiz. What I mean is if it's no fun and serves a practical purpose for study is it actually any fun or a game. If apple doesn't think your quiz is a game it might not feel that game center is appropriate.

There are 300 of them in this app. 2 Most likely. Though I don't know why Apple wouldn't see studying Reactor Theory as fun:P Any word on the plugin yet? Comments 1 would almost be impossible.

Mike the App Guy Lost but trying Posts: 435 Reg: Sep 19, 2011 Birmingham, Ala... 5,900	06/06/13 08:34 AM (10 years ago) Could it be because you listed the app in the Education category instead of Games or Entertainment, and it has the functionality of a game? I've had apps declined for this reason Comments Could it be because you listed the app in the Education category instead of Games or Entertainment, and it has the functionality of a game?
