It's posts like these that make me very unempathetic to developers who complain about Apple. I'm looking at the screenshots, and I can't understand what the app does nor how the new screenshots are representative of app functionality. However, despite having unclear screenshots, the developer blames Apple's malice when they just want to maintain a standard for users. For many of these developers, Apple is just a bully that stands in the way of them from scamming users.

The consequence of bad screenshots is nobody will download the app, which is a fate shared by about 80% of apps anyway.

Scammers certainly aren't the ones complaining, they have no emotional attachment to their apps and they're following steps designed to satisfy a superficial review.

Sorry, rather the word "scamming", I should have used the word "user-hostile". I don't think Facebook is scamming users, but as it stands Apple is in the way from them using every device api to siphon every possible inch of data from users.

It's exactly these kinds of developers who shout the loudest that Apple is being unfair, when all Apple is preventing them from doing is taking advantage of users.

I mean, these issues are exclusive to Apple's App Store. The Mac doesn't have this problem at all.
