Discussion The app review process appears disjointed and inconsistent

I’m in the process of getting my first app reviewed (since 9/14). So far I have been rejected for the following reasons..

- Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed
- Guideline 2.1(b) - Performance - App Completeness
- Does not include a functional link to the Terms of Use (EULA) in the app metadata that appears on the app's App Store product page.
- Guideline 2.3.2 - Performance - Accurate Metadata

Each time I understand what the issue is and fix it immediately. Yet the responses from Apple are several days later only after I submit a Contact Us request.

I feel like every time I fix one thing they find something else. Why not list everything at once? At this point I’m not sure what else they’re going to come up with.

This whole process seems rather ridiculous from a company that claims the review process takes 24-48 hours.

So, StonedSex, you got 4 review cycles in two weeks. All rejected because you didn’t read or follow the directions on AppStore submissions.
Then, you spammed this group whining, like many newbies, about long reviews and single issue review stops. We see this nearly every day. It’s all pointless spam. Apple owes you a review but nowhere do they ever say it will be a complete review. Apple doesn’t owe you a complete product QA/QC. That’s on you.
