Avoid the Apple App Store

Considering that you replied to this specific article, are we to assume you enjoy seeing tons of 1-to-1 Wordle clones in the app store, but not those providing actually different features?

Or did you just want to do an "angry soap box lecture" without much relevance to the article?

edit:

Just to clarify, this was not an article about Apple having rules, strict rules, or even content curation. This was an article about Apple rolling the die when deciding to accept you or not, and not caring about quality in the slightest.

The article is about rejecting a clone game app, the author is just complaining that this rule is enforced without 100% consistency. If I had to guess Apple hit some sort of clone limit on this concept and started cracking down on new submissions. So author missed the bus.

> and not caring about quality in the slightest

Dunno where this claim comes from, but the author literally spent 1 day on their app lol.

The author specifically mentions that many of these other clones were approved after Wörd was rejected.
