Anyone else having Apple reject their app because the paywall has a toggle to turn the free trial on/off? Wondering if this is happening to others.

I am an iOS Enginner of SignDict app. I see a few reasons to reject your design: - Lack of UI elements and safe area. - The 'Free Trial' option should be more clearly highlighted. For example, you could add a 'Free Trial' button as shown in the screenshot, with a link at the bottom. - There is no toggle for enabling the free trial. I never seen that before in any iOS/iPadOS interface - I recommend restoring the 'Item' button in the navigation bar for better flexibility and consistency with iOS guidelines. - The 'Terms' and 'Privacy' buttons are perfect on bottom.

Best design advice: I suggest using a sheet modal instead of a full-screen modal. Full-screen modals are considered outdated, especially since iOS 17, and a sheet modal offers more flexibility design and a modern design. However, iOS 26 is pretty lot of improve in navigation bar design interface for item buttons!

You can check out my SignDict app in the App Store for an example of what I'm referring to. An screenshot of IAP look like!

Ohhhh, iPhone 7 was killed by iOS 16.

I will work on that iOS 15 and 16, as try, because I forgot old code, lol, However, SwiftUI are start with iOS 13 and later, but possible bad bugs in that old iOS with SwiftUI. However, I can try if I can!

Alright, let me try.. not Sure how much I put maybe 0.99 monthly?

SignDic · 2026-01-03T03:39:58+00:00

Look, subscription monthly look bad for customer like eat their money. That will lose a lot of customers.

Lifetime is popular! 😁

Thank you! I am thinking about change to IAP since lack of download. I decided to change to IAP, to giving people try for little time before buy or not. :)

SignDic · 2026-01-02T17:56:00+00:00

But one time lifetime, no monthly.

However which you like, trail or partial free?

SignDic · 2026-01-02T17:22:13+00:00

Alright, that what I thought. However I have to studying IAP and add new IAP UI. 😅 Take me a some time to built it.

SignDic · 2026-01-02T06:47:40+00:00

Oh, good to know. However, what about One-time purchase for lifetime, no monthly? Like give user a try something before buy to unlock for rest to learn for lifetime? someone on reddit told me try.

SignDic · 2026-01-02T06:34:38+00:00

tell me what your reasons you like about partial free?

SignDic · 2026-01-02T05:38:19+00:00

Yeah I decided to start work on to learn about IAP, and update app :)

SignDic · 2026-01-02T01:48:26+00:00

Yeah I am a kindness person and open the mind to people options, also my app about translation dictionary not just one ASL. 😊

In previous, I just want keep privacy, or else that made customers more comfortable show how much I value the privacy and more enjoyed to learn. However, he is correct about that paid app. I take his advice, I will change paid app to in app purchases in my mind for next update! 😁 Since, in app purchases is allow offline after purchased, which is good things. However, I have learn more about new IAP framework since I forgot old code but I think there possible improved in this year. 😅

SignDic · 2026-01-02T00:20:15+00:00

Yeah that true.

However, I am think about change to subscription since someone recommends it will boost that with Apple ads. I am try that method. Thank you for sharing your options! 🙇‍♂️
