⚠️ Guideline 2.3.6 — Accurate Metadata: Age Rating declares Parental Controls that couldn't be found

The app's Age Rating content description indicates it includes In-App Controls / Parental Controls, but the reviewer couldn't find Parental Controls or Age Assurance mechanisms in the app.
Fix: if the feature exists, reply pointing to where it is; otherwise set the Age Rating "Parental Controls" selection to None on the App Information page in App Store Connect so the rating matches the app.

⚠️ Guideline 2.1 — Information Needed: Kids-category privacy (1.3)

Before review can proceed, Apple needs details on how the app complies with Guideline 1.3 (Kids category), answering four questions in App Store Connect:

• Any third-party analytics? What data is collected?
• Any third-party advertising? (kids apps must link the ad network's public policy)
• Is data shared with third parties? For what purpose, stored where?
• Any user/device data collected beyond analytics or ads?

Planned reply: Bloomling is fully offline, zero ads, no third-party analytics SDKs, and collects no data — all four answers are "No," to be stated in App Store Connect.

⚠️ Guideline 2.3.8 — "Kids" in the name, but not a Kids-category app

The app name was Bloomling: Kids Video & Learn. The word Kids implies the app is made specifically for children — but it wasn't submitted as a Kids category app.
Two options only: strip every child-implying term from the name, subtitle, icon and screenshots, or resubmit as Made for Kids.

⚠️ Guideline 4.2 — Minimum Functionality: not "app-like" enough

Review found the app didn't provide enough content and features to be useful, unique and "app-like".
For a walled-garden browser deliberately built to show only the pages a parent picked and block everything else, this one stings — intentional restraint read as insufficient functionality.

⚠️ Guideline 4.2 — "this is just a browser"

Review's words: the app only includes links, images, or content aggregated from the Internet with limited or no native functionality. Even though the content is curated for your users, "since it does not sufficiently differ from a web browsing experience, it is not appropriate for the App Store."

For a walled-garden browser that's nearly a catch-22: its whole value is "only the handful of URLs a parent picked". To pass, the app had to prove it does something a browser can't.

⚠️ Guideline 5.2.3 — Legal: proof of rights for third-party streaming

The app was flagged for potentially providing unauthorized access to third-party audio or video streaming, catalogs and discovery services — i.e. the embedded YouTube videos and IG posts.
Required: attach documentary evidence in App Review Information proving you hold all necessary rights or permissions for those third-party services. Review only continues once Apple validates the documents.
