Likely to be questionedBoth stores

One app, not many near-identical ones, and not a near-duplicate of a worn-out category

The question Does the developer ship other apps that are this app with a different city, team or skin? Is this a flashlight, timer, wallpaper, sound-effect, dating or fortune-telling app without a meaningful difference from what exists?

A person or a model answers it from the app's texts and screens; the answer is kept only while the facts it saw are unchanged.

The rule, in our words

• App Review Guidelines: No spam: no separate apps for each city or team where one app would do, and no near-duplicates of what already exists; well-worn categories such as flashlights, timers and fortune telling are refused unless meaningfully better.
• Spam: No sending messages on the user's behalf without letting them confirm content and recipients; no apps whose main purpose is affiliate traffic or a web view of someone else's site without permission; no repetitive apps that merely copy what exists or split one small experience into many apps.

Okkok never stores the stores' text. Each item above is our paraphrase, and the link is the page it rests on, verified unchanged by fingerprint on every run.

The other store

• none on principle. same
• none; Apple names refused categories (flashlights, timers, fortune telling); Google adds the messaging-on-behalf rule. same
• none; Apple explicitly bans a Select All control. same
