If you’re a brand new developer making an attempt to get an app submitted to the iOS App Store, you then may need to just remember to’re not making an attempt to undergo a class that’s already too populated. This is in keeping with developer Night Cat Productions who just lately shared that their horoscope app, WTFuture, was rejected.

The tweet has since been taken down, though we’re undecided why, however evidently once they tried to submit their app, they had been really rejected twice. According to the developer, “I have some bad news. Apparently, there are too many horoscope apps on the App Store, so WTFuture has been rejected (twice). I’m really sorry. If you have any idea how to make it “not a horoscope app” let me know. I’m the imply time, I’ll proceed porting it to Android…”

Apple’s cause for the rejection was just because there are too a lot of most of these apps. The rejection letter factors to Apple’s developer tips, particularly part 4.3 which states, “Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, fortune telling, dating, drinking games, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience.”

Apple additionally means that having too a lot of a sure sort of app is also thought-about a type of spam, claiming that whereas such an app may be “useful, informative or entertaining we simply have enough of these types of apps on the App Store and they are considered a form of spam.”
