Intellectual Property

We are developing an application with the feature of downloading instagram videos and photos but In review, application keep on rejecting . We are getting authorization from user via login however its getting rejected.What wil be an issue My application and bundle name constains Insta is this may be a reason for rejection.Kindly help me

When an app is rejected the reviewer gives a reason for the rejection. Did you get a reason? If so, what did it say?

This is the reason they mentioned in rejection review: Your app allows users to save or download music, video, or other media content without authorization from the relevant third-party sources.

An app that allows a user to download content without authorization by the owner of that content is enabling the user to steal the intellectual property of the owner of the content. Apple believes you do not have authorization to download the content.

But this is a kind of the same app concept accepted in the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inssave-download-save-photos-videos-from-instagram/id824940089?mt=8

Then why our app is getting rejected for the same reason

Note that that app was last updated on Apr 26, 2015. I suspect their updates are being rejected.

You can contact Apple and ask them to remove the other app from the store.

If you own any stolen IP you can sue the developer of that app.


Of course you can always appeal the rejection making an argument that the person who posted the original photo has allowed other users to download it. Thought I'm not sure that is actually true.
