I didn’t think it was possible but they managed to surprise me again - another rejection but this time it was to ask for answers to questions which are already explicitly asked in the apps privacy declaration! And now back to waiting limbo - 10 hours waiting for a reply…

Honestly Apple this is ridiculous. Google Play reviewed my whole Play Store submission, sent a rejection, then re-reviewed and approved within 50 minutes. Meanwhile even after expediting, resubmissions stuck in limbo for over 24 hours with nothing!

Sitting here patiently wishing Apple would hurry up and start the review of a new app submitted Thursday night - we’re on day 5 now with absolute silence. I know, they have so much more work to do now that AI is producing all this slop, but if you can’t keep up, adapt.

The US Government shuttering Fable 5 is in the same line as the US Government blocking the export of strong encryption - look at how well that went! All this does is open the door for other countries (some friendly, some not so much) to develop their own and go wild.

@the2ndfloorguy If this isn’t the best use of AI tokens I don’t know what is… The next evolution for Whoop will be a head band that glows different colors based on stress levels - then they weaponize it 🤣

If I didn’t know better I’d almost say I wrote the code that yielded this error….

It’s still a mystery to me why ICAO doesn’t work in a change program to convert airline tickets over to ones that are passport sized. Though at this point they are probably hoping to just go 100% digital once the elderly and luddites kick it.

“Would you like to buy a (paper) bag for $1.50” is as big of a rip off as “would you like to add guacamole for $2.50” when all you get is one spoon full. When did we accept this was ok?

@alphabatcher > smells like BS - Apple checks to ensure everything is in place before they allow you to publish an app that has IAP or a purchase price.

@SamsungTV why does the “smart” things app need to download a new version of the controller software for my TV before I can control it, on a regular basis? Why can’t you make the changes backwards compatible, and download the new version in the background?

@BMW the best thing about the software updates to my cars is how it turns off the automatic park brake settings - I love that surprised oh-shit moment when my car no longer does what it always has every single day, then I get to hunt through the menus to re-enable it 10/10!!

@BMW hey got a suggestion for you in the next software update for the iX range: if I press and hold the ‘disconnect’ button while plugging in my charger enable immediate charging just for this session… Don’t know why I need to use the app or infotainment to do this…? 🤷‍♂️

This whole ‘we emailed you a code to login with’ needs to die. Let me keep my strong password in a password manager, with MFA, or a passkey. Don’t make me open my email!

@TaraBull808 I can’t comprehend how people value not damaging their cars or the safety barriers over their lives… a paint touch up and a penalty/fine is wayyyy cheaper compared to this

We are super excited to announce we've launched our first app WordSloth! My daughter loves to write by herself and was forever asking how to spell words, now with WordSloth she can do it independently apps.apple.com/.../wordsloth-… We'd really appreciate a review if you find it useful!
