“Just try an alt store” is a condescendingly flippant comment - there is near zero market for iOS alt stores and most people in most countries have no access either.

My above comment is not an excuse for design spam. The design spam rule is necessary. Your feedback is not.

Synths have never been a high profit business on iOS. And small earners are not a priority for Apple review. There’s a business case for not being bothered with most indie apps.

To suggest there’s categorically no room for innovation or value add with new synth products is just ignorant though.

There is also near zero market for more Synth Apps at this point so I'm not sure what you want here.

It's like when the App Store started, someone made a Flashlight App and it was cool. We sure had enough of that by now. Now that AI turned everyone into a maker and the bar is lower in a world of abundance, it's only natural that things shift in terms of expectations for distribution.

This is how new markets take shape too, YouTube became so trash that now platforms such as Nebula came out as a business.

I’m genuinely not sure if you’re doing a bit, especially after explicitly calling out the “entitlement” of the development.

Is “we don’t think there’ll be a market for this” a defensible reason to disqualify an app from the App Store? What’s even your point? You are just looking to be argumentative and pretty clearly have no interest in actually discussing this.

		I'll take the callout, I did get emotional. Reason being is because I have bought over 20 synth apps and have worked in the music industry. Looking at the app and the way they reacted to not getting approved made me upset.

If you’re going to suggest an alt store, customers globally should be able to access the alt store you’re suggesting.

So far in the U.S., that’s not an option. You likely already know this, which makes it a flippant argument.

An Alt iOS store isn't accessible to everyone in every country either as far as I know.
