Guideline 1.4 "BAC calculator" rejection for an app that Beta App Review keeps approving
Hi there, Recently I've created a beautiful drink logging app, Abvy. You log what you drink and it shows an estimate and a possible range of the alcohol in your system over the evening. It has plenty of disclaimers that the measurements are only estimates and to never use them for driving decisions Since 26 August I've had the same rejection six times: "marketed as a blood alcohol content calculator but does not have associated hardware... apps that rely solely on software... are not appropriate." Meanwhile Beta App Review approved all the builds submitted. I had an App Review appointment today. The rep read the same paragraph back to me and said to appeal, which I've done. It was really frustrating. The published 1.4 doesn't mention blood alcohol at all, and university and public-health apps with the same kind of estimate are on the store today (Stay in the Blue from the University of Michigan, Virtual Bar from the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility). Not to mention dozens of other, apps who do the exact same thing but are approved. Has anyone actually got past this on the App Store side? What changed for you? What can I do to fix this? Really care about Abvy and think it's an amazing app.
