App Store Review Rescue — Hands-on help getting unstuck with Apple & Google app review
After shipping multiple iOS and Android apps, I kept seeing the same pattern—
founders getting stuck in App Store or Play Store review loops for reasons that weren’t actually about their code.
Most rejections come down to:
unclear onboarding or first-run experience
compliance or metadata issues
how reviewers interpret screenshots, copy, or permissions
policy flags that point at the symptom, not the root cause
I put together App Store Review Rescue to help founders get unstuck when they’re:
repeatedly rejected
unsure why an app won’t pass
launching subscriptions or AI-powered apps
tired of guessing what Apple or Google “really wants”
This is hands-on help based on shipping and maintaining real apps—not generic advice.
If you’re currently blocked in review, happy to answer questions or take a look.
Thanks for offering this! We just went through the App Store submission process for our app, GentleQuest, and it was definitely a learning experience. One thing that really tripped us up initially was metadata consistency, specifically around the icon sizes - getting that 32px/192px split right was a small but crucial detail that finally got us through. Great to see someone providing hands-on help for this!
Appreciate that — and that’s a perfect example of what I see all the time.
Those “small” metadata issues (icon size variants, naming consistency, screenshot order) are exactly the kinds of things that stall reviews even when the product itself is solid. Reviewers often flag the symptom, not the actual fix, which makes it frustrating to debug.
Glad you got GentleQuest through — that first pass is always the hardest. If you run into anything similar on updates or subscriptions later, happy to sanity-check things.
Thanks for sharing the example.
