Apple's rejection of our app forced me to improve the design.

During the pandemic, I decided to take the free time to pick up a new skill. I decided to learn about SwiftUI, and NodeJS for a backend.

I figured it would be better to build the Lazy Jar precisely the way I wanted it. It took me about three months to get version 4.0 built. I made a trial submission to the app store, and it was approved for the app store. But a month later, when I wanted to make the final submission, it was rejected.
Why? Because apparently, the activity dials in the newly designed "mimicked" the Apple Watch activity rings. At any rate, I figured it'd be quicker to avoid contesting the rejection, and so I spent a day redesigning the offending part of the app. And I have to say, it ended up working out in my favor. The newer design definitely looks better.
