I fought the same fucking battle. Just keep appealing and cross your fingers you find a reviewer who isn't a dipshit.

First of all, that sounds like a really cool idea for an app. I want it. But secondly, of all the app rejection stories I've ever heard... this one is the easiest to fix. Just add some more features, who cares, and resubmit it. Ideas: annotate/categorize the things that are making you happy/unhappy. Maybe have categories/icons for them.

I actually really like the concept of relating your happiness in a binary fashion on a day to day basis relative to the previous day. With each previous day forming a control the results can be dynamic and very in a range far greater than 1 to 10.
Looks like you need to add a duck . Just keep adding features till they accept it. Example: simple form that lets you take a picture of yourself, type a note about your mood, and share it on Twitter or Facebook, as well as link to the graph. http://programmers.stackexchange.com/a/122148
I don't think that's the approach Apple is trying to foster. You will turn a simple app into a shitty app.
For instance, I'll bet ya that allowing people to share their moods on Facebook leads to measurably different and likely less accurate mood graphs.
Apple is curating a ten billion dollar marketplace [1]. Apple will error on the side of maintaining the overall quality of the entire Application selection, even if it means many very worthwhile applications are rejected. I sympathize with huemanapp's developers, but they must realize they are competing for "virtual shelf space." I say to them; keep plugging away and good luck. [1] https://www.apple.com/pr/library/20…
Yes. I can see what you mean. I can absolutely see why Apple would reject an app like this, with such quality apps that are -not- “too simple”. For example: http://imgur.com/8N9GS6g

Popularizing walled gardens? Yah I'm never going to forget that. ever.
And going "nuclear" on Android because they felt that their iOS was soooo original it should be protected by all patents, trademarks and laws in place. Apple is the Disney of IT, seriously.

So with this example, are you arguing that Apple should be more selective, or let any and all comers into App store?
I'm remarking that it's hard to me to take seriously a claim that Apple has these mystical standards that must be met and that they're just trying to "cultivate a quality ecosystem".
Seriously, download some of those apps. At least two have -very low- quality images (they look like obviously massively resized, highly pixellated images) that get a weird red glow that's more akin to image corruption than a 'highlight' when you touch the screen to generate a highly unrealistic fart noise (in the singular - just one simple noise, not even a range).

I would like to counter this advice by saying that I don't think acquiescing to the whims of walled garden rulers is the best solution. If your vision was to create what you have already created, how could you modify it to a product that you think is worse for your users because its what Apple wants? It pains me just reading suggestions about implementing these tacked on functions.
