    Make sure that your game is unique. Do a little research before and make sure your idea hasn't already been done.

    Well Apple has a big App Submission Guidelines Document you read before sending your app right????

    The most common stuff is Not functioning correctly.

    That app was rejected for the main character being to similar to Angry Birds. Although its prob more Rovio Getting special Treatment since their app alone has made Apple Millions. And Apple does not want to upset them in any way.

    Some causes for rejection are,

    The app has bad graphics

    The idea is not completely original or is copying artwork from other apps

    The game is either too short or not fun at all to play

    The game does not function correctly

    You are using any of the following words in the app title Apple, Ipad, Mac, Macbook, Ipod, Iphone, Itouch or anything else trademarked by apple.

    These are just some of the things that you can get rejected for. Apple will always send you an email if you get rejected that details what you got rejected for.

    I'd say it's probably more likely that apple is getting sick of all the crappy angry bird clones they get sent everyday. I'm pretty sure that after a while I'd just start hitting "reject" on every app that had a angry looking bird as the main character as well. lol

    I think someone at apple must have been having a bad day yesterday. I had an app 'update' rejected for having a too small font in it! Now fair play if they were consistent, but this is an update to the game which already has this font in it, ironically the update was submitted to make the font more legible as the current one is blurred (dodgy GS default text! now replaced with custom font)... and even more ironic, they approved the Lite version which features exactly the same fonts/text!

    Yeah, that is really weird. I think that an different individual person reviews each app and it is just different peoples opinions. Once one of my apps got rejected and the guy called me to let me know what I did wrong. I thought that this was strange.
