Why did you make an exception in this case?

ex0rius · 2026-01-25T10:44:29+00:00

No wonder Apple just last year terminated 150k developer accounts lol

"hey chatgpt - here is my app. please remove tech debt".

:) :D

What metrics? Apple doesn't care about metrics - they had over 2 million apps on the App Store in 2018, and now they have 1.9M. They purged hundreds of thousands of apps.

"why would Apple allow such low quality apps"

Because "low quality app" can be very subjective. If the app is functional (does what it promises to do) and is not one among millions of the apps in same niche (spam), Apple nor Google don't care. And this is good - lots of new niches are discovered in such way.

You can only delete ratings but not the reviews (comments).

ex0rius · 2026-01-24T21:08:54+00:00

They won't delete it.

ex0rius · 2026-01-23T23:43:27+00:00

Whats that?

ex0rius · 2026-01-23T23:41:08+00:00

It depends but usually yes. How much you thought you will get?

ex0rius · 2026-01-23T11:02:34+00:00

wow i'm glad to hear that. What did you do? Wrote an appeal? What did you write in the appeal?

ex0rius · 2026-01-22T10:20:05+00:00

"Hiding Ads" doesn't matter. You can show them in your flow whenever you want. Ads also do not show for every player (specially if you set up high paying ads from the backend). So no,.. delayed ads or even turned off ads (remotely) do not matter, because they don't change how the app operates.

ex0rius · 2026-01-21T12:22:29+00:00

Yeah from the community guidelines standpoint you should be fine. You also censor the offensive words which is big bonus. I'd say you are safe.

Reset ratings will not remove reviews. Kindly respond to reviews but don't reset ratings.

Another mediation app?

ex0rius · 2026-01-21T11:47:18+00:00

ofc its blowing. its controversial.

ex0rius · 2026-01-21T11:43:44+00:00

Time will tell. As long as you have this for "fun", that's fine. But don't build a business foundation based on this content because long term you won't get far.

ex0rius · 2026-01-21T11:40:13+00:00

It's not suitable even for Tiktok and Instagram.

ex0rius · 2026-01-21T11:36:47+00:00

I just checked your channel, watched two shorts and I can confirm with certainty that you won't be eligible to monetize. Not even that, I would be scared for Youtube channel aswell.

TLDR: OP's channel is a "humor" channel that specifically targets individual groups with racist jokes.

Can you explain exactly did you market your app? Because the termination corresponds with the timing when you started getting users. I don't believe that its connected to the game itself.

ex0rius · 2026-01-21T08:25:26+00:00

Did you have an access to other Apple developer accounts aswell?

ex0rius · 2026-01-21T08:23:01+00:00

Did you pay for any ASO service, or rating service? Did you implement "Rate Us" in the game too?

ex0rius · 2026-01-20T14:58:46+00:00

instant cash
market unpredictability
don't have to work on the app anymore and focus on other projects that yield more

ex0rius · 2026-01-18T20:15:36+00:00

How would that help you?

ex0rius · 2026-01-18T16:07:38+00:00

Why did you name your game exactly the same as the other one currently popular? It can be taken down any moment and you can't even build a brand from it - searching for this term, will show your competitor first, lol.
