I had an app rejected 3 times by Apple, the first 2 times because it was 'too much like a web app', and the last time because the 'map screen and calendar screens didn't interact with the phone's native functions'. I appealed this last finding, stating that getting driving directions was interactive and the phone's calendar opening up when you clicked on the date was interactive. After a wait of a few days and no news from the appeals process, I got the 3 golden notifications (your app is changed to review, processing for the store, and ready for sale). So, if you feel that your app is being unfairly rejected, go ahead and appeal, you may just be right! Title Comments I just want to let everyone know that perseverance can get you there in the end!

I think some reviewers are overly aggressive in their reviews. Comments Congratulations! I have been through that as well. I think some reviewers are overly aggressive in their reviews.
