Hello fellow developers,
I've recently submitted my app, "Mosawirin," to the Apple Store, but it was rejected under Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality. I'm seeking advice on how to address this issue.
The app is a platform that connects users with professional photographers, models, makeup artists, hairstylists, and other service providers across Saudi Arabia. Service providers can offer their services, while users can browse, filter, and book directly through the app. Users can also communicate with service providers to arrange details.
Main Features:
- In-app Messaging: Direct communication between users and service providers.
- Comments and Ratings: Users can leave feedback and rate packages.
- Notifications: Real-time updates for offers, bookings, and messages.
- Direct Booking: Users can book services directly within the app.
- Direct Contact via WhatsApp: Users can also connect with service providers via WhatsApp.
- Service Provider Listings: Categorized lists of photographers, makeup artists, and models.
- Detailed Profiles: Service provider profiles showing packages and reviews.
- Service Filtering: Filter services by city, gender, and category.
- Like Feature: Save favorite packages for later.
- Report Feature: Users can report inappropriate content.
- Ad Display Date & View Count: Ads display date and view count information.
- Similar Ads: When viewing a service, the app suggests related ads based on the category or service type.
Account Management for Providers:
- Modify/delete packages.
- Track orders.
- Communicate with clients.
- Delete accounts if necessary.
Apple's Review Feedback:
"Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality
We found that the usefulness of your app is limited by the minimal amount of content or features it includes.
Next Steps
We encourage you to review your app concept and incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the App Review Guidelines. Apple customers expect apps to provide a really great user experience, offering valuable utility or entertainment, or enabling people to do something they couldn’t do before or in a new way."
I want to explain that the app is still in its early stage and was submitted with demo content just for the review. The images and content are temporary placeholders because the app depends on service providers to upload real content. The app hasn’t officially launched yet, and the real content will be added after the launch.
There are a few points I would like to clarify:
- The app currently supports only one language, which is Arabic, as it targets Arabic-speaking users.
- The app only has a light mode, and a dark mode option is not available at the moment.
- I do not ask for the user's location because it is not necessary for the app's functionality.
Thanks in advance for your time and help!
