So i have been working on a reference guide for a game called Minecraft. Most of you probobly know what it is, and i have been working on this for about three months. I am almost done and i would like to get a public opinion. If possible please give constructive critisizm so i can make it better! Also if anything looks like apple may not like something please tell me so i can make it good for apple! Thank you so much! The link below is a test page for a website i have used for the app. The app is called ulticraft. What do you think? http://Ulticraft.us/

My son is a rabid Minecraft fan! The app looks pretty cool and very complete. Hard to give a complete review just from that page, but I'm not seeing anything that would turn off the Apple reviewers. Mark

Ok thanks. I will have more content soon, but what about the buttons? on the home screen. Would apple not like that (since they are rounded)?

Hard to say. I think the ones that have been rejected in the past had more to do with them looking like standard iOS buttons, rather than them just being rounded. I think yours are unique enough to not confuse anybody. Mark

Looks very nice - nice website, icon, and app layout. I don't know anything about Minecraft (as in I've never played it) but I've seen Minecraft themed apps everywhere in the App Store - there's somebody on these forums (can't remember who) who I think has had some pretty good success with them. I think anything Minecraft related is pretty much guaranteed to get huge downloads Judging from the fact that there's already so many unofficial Minecraft apps, I'm guessing Apple won't give you a hard time for using 3rd party content. It seems like with those kinds of apps there's maybe a 10% chance that it will get rejected and they will ask for written permission from the copyright holders. The good new is that I've heard the guy who created Minecraft is very supportive of unofficial apps - you might want to send him a quick email before you submit just in case

Nice. One or two typo's, eg: "Weather you are a Minecrafter", but overall, it's good. One thing that can quickly lose you credibility though is innacurate claims. In your blurb it says: "Ulticraft is quickly becoming "The Minecraft Guide", but in the updates tab it says that version 1.0 is unreleased! People pick up on stuff like that. But if it's only a test page, then who cares.

Don't think that's an official App Store badge is it?? I'd change it to one of apples to keep them sweet ( the Download from App Store blue button)

Thankyou all for the feedback @raveyd yeah it's a test not even ready yet. Claims where just there to be there! @trouty The button matches the style of the site also it isn't an image it is a CSS button to make it dynamic (resize your browser window.) I registered my domain and changed the link above :) it's http://Ulticraft.us/

Fixed some typos and other claims lol, they were mostly content fillers. Thanks all of you for support.

haha! Nice one

Hi Auggnet Your site looks great...its clean and elegant I tried to download the iOS version, but it said its not available to Canadian customers Is that correct?

The application has not been released yet for IOS, android is not made with buzztouch but i will make it to android soon. You can expect the app to be out within a week! Good luck! I just linked them up the site isn't ready yet, its just "up" and i have made the app a whole lot better this week. So the links for apple are going to be a little funny with error messages. But no Canada is allowed lol!

Im sure it will be super successful

I hope so, i will keep updating on this thread. If you are interested though you can go to http://auggn.net/ this is the Augmented Gaming Network, we update news on the site!

Thanks for sharing

No problem! Submitting review, cross fingers!

good luck

Thankyou! I have just submitted it. I hope people like it, i put a lot of work into it and, well i mean some people where offering to buy if off of me, i had to decline them. I really do think it has potential, and well i guess im just looking for more opinions from you all. Thanks!

Auggnet, I know apps that have been rejected a few times and then finally accepted and gone to do very well Let me ask you, are you planning to monetise the app...if yes, how are you going to do it Sell it for 99 cents?

I only have one version. This is because I'm sick of all the fermium apps that are useless unless you buy it. So what I have done is kept it simple, I created ONE version called Ulticraft When you launch the application you have access to all minecraft information instantly. It's all local on the phone and I don't like selling information you can just find on a wiki. But I have optimized all the pages for mobile devices. iAd is very subtle and fits in perfectly it looks elegant and I like it. The user can optionally tap the blue plus button on the more tab to remove them for 1.99$ Hope that gives you more detail on the way I work

In terms of ad networks, i have heard from a coupld of app experts like trey smith and chad mureta that Revmob and Chartboost convert really well and have higher payouts

Yes I love revmob, I will have it so iAd and revmob alternate or show a network depending on what screen the user is on. Ill add that in 1.1

Yes...test to see what works best If you want an app icon made etc you can get some good ones from fiverr.com All the best, let us know when it comes out and i will try it

:) defiantly it just became in review but it is Sunday so ill wait a week maybe two because lots of screens for them to go over. Best of luck my fingers are still crossed lol

Rejected. I knew it was too good to be true. Here is a rejection post in the bt forums https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=91C1D6782CC998511856BDB&fid=06DB0BCB08E7777&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1

Dont give up.....different apple employees can either reject or approve an app....even though its the same app

yeah i resubmitted the binary. I guess just keep submitting it until i get a valid review?

I dont have any experience with the details of it But i know of developers who have been rejected and they resubmit until they get an approval...do check with others who have more experience than I do

yeah i have been, but yeah... 2nd submit on the way!

good

Yup, well I guess I will check back here when the status changes to rejected (Probobly) or accepted

Please do

:D

Rejected (2). I knew it was too good to be true. Here is a rejection post in the bt forums https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=91C1D6782CC998511856BDB&fid=06DB0BCB08E7777&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1

Hi Daniel, took a look at your website. Very nice and professional it is too. I never got into Minecraft, too many things to do and too many things to jump out and kill you. I play on Eden and Block Earth. I hope you get your app accepted because I would diffinitely use it and try Minecraft again. Keep trying my friend. Barry
