Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice from other developers because I’m honestly not sure what to do next.

I built MyDay Astro, a personalized Vedic astrology app. Users enter their birth details, and the app gives personalized daily insights based on their birth chart, Panchang and planetary positions, with areas like Career, Relationship, Finance and Health.

Apple has now rejected the app 3 times under Guideline 4.3(b) - Design - Spam, saying that the app is too similar to existing astrology/fortune-telling apps.

We’ve already made several changes after the earlier reviews, but we received the same rejection again.

What do you think we should do at this point? Do you think the core idea is too common, or is there something we could change in the product or experience?

I’d really appreciate any honest opinions or advice. I’ve attached the rejection for context.

Thanks a lot! 🙏

The reviewer writes

the app may include features or characteristics that distinguish it.

So you need to make it distinguished from others. Otherwise, you will continue to get rejected. In the worst case, you may get your developer account terminated if you continue to make a submission without noticeable changes.
