Long Review Time, Scheduled Phone Call

Ive just made this app, and its been getting reviewed and rejected within a few hours. thats fine. But ive been getting flagged for spam features, meaning it has features of other apps and is too similar.

so i wrote a long description of uses of the app and capabilities of it, to clarify how its different. Now my app had been 'In Review' for almost 6 hours.

and they wouldnt explain what they meant by spam in the reply section of the app store connect. I scheduled a call for clarification because they wouldnt send any. it got flagged 3 times and with no reason. So im not sure if they are gonna have me stuck in review until they speak with me.

Also when you schedule a call they dont give you a time so im not sure how long im going to be waiting.

also i had the app under another app store account. Another dev created the 1st version under his account but i made my own account but i didnt transfer the app, just deleted and just started over.

i just feel this process could have been easier with just better communication. 6 hours in review is a while, ill update when i wake up.

If they think it is a copycat app, they will know best based on automated metrics.

My app got approved! they called and i just explained everything. they just needed more details.
