Hey @kizzy

Do you mean 4.2? Not sure a Thunkable app would fall into the 4.4 category:

> **[App Review Guidelines - Apple Developer](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#extensions)**
>
> The App Review Guidelines provide guidance and examples across a range of development topics, including user interface design, functionality, content, and the use of specific technologies. These guidelines are designed to help you prepare your apps...

That means : Your app should have some working ( Minimum Functionality). Apple or Google doesn’t accept the applications that doesn’t do anything but just has some static screens.

If you could provide details about your app. I could help you fix it.

Here’s are some other users who have been asked to resubmit their apps because of guideline 4.2.2:

And, in terms of getting your app into the App Store, this is one of the best guides you’ll find, and it’s specifically for Thunkable users:

> Hi all! This is my first Creator Lounge post, and I’m very excited to share some tips that will hopefully help some of you get your apps onto Apple’s App Store! Background For anyone who’s tried before, getting an app onto the App Store is certainly not easy – but it is very possible, and any one of you can do it. Personally, it took me 8 months and 7 rejections from Apple before I got my debut app accepted – but perseverance is key ([Thunkable App released to Apple App Store!](http://community.thunkable.com/t/thunkable-app-released-to-apple-app-store/71553)). Anyways, that’s…

At this point, I am tired of this particular APP and all the requirements needed by apple I am going take a break for that app. I need to reflect on lost time and funds.

@Mikas, I’m assuming you are trying to get help by posting on here, otherwise a diary is a handy place to keep your thoughts. Please take this FB with an open mind

To be precise, google is less stringent than Apple in regard to what they say is limited functionality and in general this is the case.

From your homescreen I can:

go to Screen “Meanings” - this page is primarily text only ((apple doesnt really like too much text in an app if that’s what you do primarily. otherwise, send it to apple books instead of the app store. also, if there were more options of stuff to read, this might be ok.)) apple doesn’t like this

go to chat: this is a webwrapper and apple doesn’t like this. they say, go to the website. apple doesn’t like this

go to screen prayers: again, this is a lot of only text. see the comment above. apple doesnt like this

your test is poorly designed and you can only get a perfect score. perhaps consider adding questions, allowing for multiple sets of questions or a laerget test bank. also consider a way for the user to track their score and track progress. it’s not a good quiz if there are only 6 questions that dont change. apple probably wont approve this quiz.  
Your app doesn’t have a lot of functionality. Perhaps with the quiz, you could add more quizzes or a way to track.

Yea Is mainly for reading so yea it is more like a book. I am not a big fan of quiz i just put there. Maybe the Apple app is not the best thing for this Guy I will let him know and I will focus on other stuff. did my good deed.
