Apple Asks Developer to Remove Android Reference From App Description

Apple has asked Flash of Genius to remove a reference to Android from their iPhone app description.

-----
Dear Flash of Genius, LLC,

Thank you for submitting Flash of Genius: SAT Vocab 2.2 to the App Store. During our review of your application, we found that your application contains inappropriate or irrelevant platform information in the Application Description and/or Release Notes sections.


Providing future platform compatibility plans or other general platform references are not relevant in the context of the iPhone App Store. While your application has not been rejected, it would be appropriate to remove "Finalist in Google's Android Developer's Challenge!" from the Application Description [Emphasis added].

Please log into iTunes Connect to make appropriate changes to the Application Description now to avoid an interruption in the availability of Flash of Genius: SAT Vocab 2.2 on the iPhone App Store.

Regards,

iPhone Developer Program

The developers says that "I suppose it's logical, and I'm not complaining; Apple is a wonderful company to work with. I took out the offending bit from the description.

Meanwhile, I wish there were a wording that would somehow allow us to leverage our Top 10 finish in the Android Developer's Challenge in the app description, without offending Apple."

At least Apple didn't reject the application.
