Need an advice for submitting iOS app to Appstore (Instanerd)
Hello fellow hackers,
We are having trouble with submitting our app to the Apple appstore. Here is the response from the review team:

The app landing page is http://getinstanerd.com and here is a quick demo of the app:

The problem is that we want to be simple, but they suggest more content or features.
We are asking if you had similar experience or can suggest what we can add/improve so we get approved.
Before you build anything new, I would just try submitting again.
Sometimes reviewers just nitpick, and once you get the app through you won't have another issue for the next 6+ releases. Then you'll get another denial, and the cycle repeats. I've found Apple's review process to be incredibly inconsistent.
I would also suggest writing a nice message in the spot for the reviewer where you submit the app. Briefly talk about what the release includes, how your users have been talking about your iOS release, etc, etc. Be nice and remember it's a human looking over your app :)
My news app was denied with the same reason. I added social features where users can login, register and place comments under the news articles and that way it got approved. Try to understand why Apple denied your app, it doesn’t have much more functionality than a web app.
Following that train of thought: OP, why haven't you added social sharing features yet?
All of these would only take a handful of minutes to implement, but add a lot of value and content.
Great suggestions guys, thank you. We have social sharing features and even we generate a custom image for each post:

We will consider of implementing the other features you mention, especially a relevant link under each fact.
Thanks again, this helps a lot.
