I've got a language translation dictionary in the app store. When I tried to get an important 3.0 bugfix through, I was rejected by the same logic, until I changed the rating to 17+. Crazy thing is, you can set your app rating to "Frequent/intense profanity or crude humor", and it'll just bump the rating to 12+. Still unacceptable to Apple (presumably, at least. I asked the review team if this would be suitable, but of course heard nothing back).
So my dictionary now appears to have "Frequent/intense sexual content or nudity" because the review team tried to translate bad words.
In a moment of frustration, sent a sarcastic quip to Apple's review team about not allowing dictionaries to minors, and I'm left wondering if that knocked me into the slow queue - because it took well over a month to finally get the update approved.
- smokey_the_bear 17y agoNo kidding. My app also features "Frequent/intense sexual content or nudity" because it displays information from wikipedia about parks nearby. And any third party content is 17+
- jexe 17y agoAll that this really doing is diluting their own censorship rules until they're meaningless. It's as if every movie featuring actors showing their legs above the knees was rated R.
- smokey_the_bear 17y agoIt's more like if every movie that had a woman wearing a long skirt, that could possibly be pulled up, but isn't actually pulled up, was rated R.
