App Rejected Due To Subjective Design

Hello,

My app was rejected, with the reason being given:

-- Parts of the app's user interface were still crowded, laid out, or displayed in a way that made it difficult to use the app when reviewed on iPad Air (5th generation) running iPadOS 26.0.

Specifically, when viewed on iPad, your app uses only a portion of the screen.

It is the same layout as the iPhone 16 on the iPad air, and I know of multiple apps that follow this scheme. I have even sent images.

I believe that I am absolutely in the right here.

Please do let me know.

Thank you for your post. If you disagree with the outcome of the review, we recommend submitting an appeal to the App Review Board. When filing your appeal, make sure to:

  • Provide specific reasons why you believe your app complies with the App Review Guidelines.
  • Submit only one appeal per rejection.
  • Respond to any requests for additional information before submitting an appeal.

Once you have submitted the appeal we can escalate it to the App Review Board for review. The App Review Board will contact you directly as soon as they've completed their investigation.
