“copycat”

Hi, My app was metadata rejected and I can’t understand why. This is what they said: “Guideline 4.1 - Design - Copycats Your app or its metadata still appears to contain misleading content. Specifically, your app includes content that resembles Yards Per Fantasy.” They are saying my app resembles Yards Per Fantasy but my app IS Yards Per Fantasy so I’m really confused. When I asked for clarification their response wasn’t very helpful. The app is derived from my Wordpress site (YardsPerFantasy.com) using the WPMOBILE.App plugin. Please help! Thank you

I have submitted my app 5 times now :|. Finally got it to the last (hopefully) rejection issue. This one I don't know how to fix though. It's saying there isn't valid proof of authorization for this app even though I am the web designer and am working along side the CEO of the company to have it published. Here is the Binary Rejection: Your app or its metadata appears to still contain potentially misleading content. Specifically, your app includes content that resembles KlosetSlayer without the necessary authorization. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I made an app that serves as a checklist to help find special items in one of the Resident Evil games. The app displays a large number of screenshots of the game, illustrating where each item can be found. Because of this, Apple's reviewer rejected the app for copycat reasons. The alleged reason is described below:Guideline 4.1 - Design - CopycatsYour app or its metadata appears to contain misleading content.Specifically, your app includes content that resembles Resident Evil Revelations without the necessary authorization.What does that mean? That I can't include screenshots of others games in my app? Is there any way to get around this problem while still using screenshots?

Dear all, I have been working for a year and invested a lot of money for creating a kind of a fantasy league related to football. I checked with a lawyer before starting the App development and he told me that if the game is free there shouldn't be any problem with the football team licenses, specially if we republish sports results (already published in all the international media). Obviously we use real football team shields, as we comply both conditions (free App and republish sports results).I have also checked other Apps in App Store and there are a lot of Apps including the same shields that I'm being told to remove from my App. I don't think all of them have any license from the FIFA or UEFA or any particular team.This is the answer I received from Apple:Guideline 4.1 - Design - CopycatsYour app or its metadata appears to contain misleading content.Specifically, your app includes content that resembles one or multiple third-party sport teams and/or leagues.It's a Freemium app, where we publish real res
