Hey guys, I am trying to get my app through rejections and I think this is a big stepping stone if i can get it to work. at the moment my app opens up in the old maps and when you press the info button on the pin it asks you to open "native maps" for the driving locations etc. Is there a way I can have my app startup in the "native maps" straight away? Any help would be greatly appreciated! P.S. if anyone has any websites/people I could talk to as I need a redesign of my splash screen and home screen and I am not talented at all in graphic design! :) Title Comments Hey guys, I am trying to get my app through rejections and I think this is a big stepping stone if i can get it to work. at the moment my app opens up in the old maps and when you press the info button on the pin it asks you to open "native maps" for the driving locations etc. Is there a way I can have my app startup in the "native maps" straight away?

The system will want to ask, and you shouldn't override it. With respect to design, if you can 'picture' what you want, and just can't do it, someone over at fiverr.com might be able to help at a low cost. Wish I could help more, but I'm no designer either; I'm trying to put a fresh coat of paint on my website too, and am getting frustrated by the minute, lol! Good Luck!

Well If I can't change the maps startup I guess I'll just play around with the setting and try and make it load so that it is alot more zoomed in on the user's location instead of showing the whole of Australia!! already jumped on Fiverr! thanks! And lastly, I'm pretty sure it was you that mentioned it, Is it worth looking at how to change my Bundler ID as my app in the past was rejected 3 times? I'm just trying to do everything I possibly can to tweak my app before I try again! Thanks for the help! Comments As always, Thanks Smug!

Changing it won't really matter. I have heard that it is better to cancel and resubmit, rather than keep submitting to the same reviewer. I basically kept my app 'functionally' the same, but improved my 'user visual appeal' (basically I redid all the art) and that seemed to make a difference on mine; perhaps some flashy art is all you need. I hope anyway. Let us know how it goes!
