Hi all,

I am a student trying to launch an app on the App store. The tool is a wait time predictor for bars and restaurants in the area. For months I have been failing the design minimum requirement and was hoping to get some assistance.

Here some features: Push notifications, Check wait times at every different time on different, days on graphs, Favorite Venues, Discover other venues via a map system , Enter address into maps via map,

Below are some pngs of my project. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it

It seems that equivalent information is available on most restaurants websites. So what would be the added value of your app ? I guess that's what the rejection is based on.

That's what guideline 4.2 states:

4.2 Minimum Functionality Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your App doesn’t provide some sort of lasting entertainment value or adequate utility, it may not be accepted.

Some idea:

help find a restaurant close to my location where waiting time is low at some time
help find where affluence limited at this time
find restaurant opened at a given time (late or hourly hours)
