Do Apple's app reviewers review applications really serious?

1 pointfoxmoby6 comments

They rejected my app with the following reason:

--- Guideline 2.3.7 - Performance - Accurate Metadata Specifically, the following words in your app name or subtitle are considered keywords or descriptors: A simple editor and can convert content to a image. ---

I changed the subtitle to `A simple editor`, and I submitted again, and they rejected again with the same reason.

--- Guideline 2.3.7 - Performance - Accurate Metadata Specifically, the following words in your app name or subtitle are considered keywords or descriptors: A simple editor and can convert content to a image. ---

But I changed the subtitle, they still give me the old reason, do they review the app really? I feel they are so perfunctory, I asked them why they still reject with the same reason, because I had changed the subtitle, and then they give me another rejected reason

--- Guideline 2.3.7 - Performance - Accurate Metadata Specifically, the following words in your app name or subtitle are considered keywords or descriptors: A simple editor. ---

Are they kidding?

> 2.3.7 Choose a unique app name, assign keywords that accurately describe your app, and don’t try to pack any of your metadata with trademarked terms, popular app names, or other irrelevant phrases just to game the system. App names must be limited to 30 characters and should not include prices, terms, or descriptions that are not the name of the app. App subtitles are a great way to provide additional context for your app; they must follow our standard metadata rules and should not include inappropriate content, reference other apps, or make unverifiable product claims. Apple may modify inappropriate keywords at any time.

- "A simple editor and can convert content to a image."

- "A simple editor and can convert content to a image."

- "A simple editor."

All fail the guideline. I could barely even figure out your app name from the post, how would a reviewer? How would a customer?

Your app appears rejected correctly.

I don't know what's your point, and I think they are so perfunctory. I can accept the reason they rejected my app, but I don't like their work attitude. I sure of that they didn't review my app, and rejected habitually, because I have update that infos, but they still rejected me with old reason, that's so perfunctory, that makes me think they are sucks.

Well, name it something else, then, like "Fred" or "Editronulator", and save the rest for the description...

I removed the subtitle, and it's online now. I really think apple app review sucks.
