Agreed. I supported a relatively large retail app (about a million users) with a team of 5-8. Apple review process was always a risk. I've had times as well where my submission was denied, but in the appeal process would point to a larger app that did the same thing and it would rarely help.

The reply I got when I pointed at other apps was "Please file a report via the App Store, other apps not following the rules doesn't give you a free pass". :rolleyes:

I also once got told (on the phone with a reviewer) that I couldn't say

    Allow "My App" to use your location?
In the title of the permission dialog because I was "leading" the user to allow. Never mind that the title of that dialog is system-generated and you can only edit the description that shows underneath. I went 3-4 rounds with the reviewer saying I didn't control that while they insisted I did/could. I finally gave up, made 1 other change they requested, then resubmitted and it went through. Reviewer roulette sucks.
