iOS App Rejected

Submitted the iOS app for approval to the app store.
Apple reviewed it and responded within 24 hours saying my app wasn't 'app-like' enough and that using location, push notifications or other core services wasn't enough to make it app like.

So I've reworked the app and started integrating with Apple HealthKit.

    Maybe it could help to take advantage of more native UI components? Buttons, tab bar, navigation, animations? That could help achieve the "app" feel. (I'm assuming there's a design component to their claim.)

    Also, it's worth trying to resubmit if you think their review was incorrect. I've had tiny updates rejected for confusing reasons and sometimes you just need to submit again and get a different reviewer.

      Thanks @mattkandler! I purposely made website and the app the same, so everyone would have the same experience. In the end added a step counter feature for the iOS app, so it could get through approval, which worked :D
