We found that your app includes a feature, or features, that mimic an iOS interface or behavior, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically, your app contains rounded icons in a homescreen layout. We've included screenshots to help identify the feature/s in question. It would be appropriate to remove or revise these features to make them distinctly different from the iOS behaviors and interfaces to avoid causing user confusion. While the guideline specifies iPod interfaces, the spirit of the guideline includes all iOS interfaces and behaviors. So, I had remove rounded corners and create new buttons, This changes is correct or not Title Comments 8.3: Apps which appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product or advertising theme will be rejected.

Others have received the same rejection, squared up the icons, and gotten approved. So, hopefully that's the case for you as well! Mark Comments Man, Apple sure is picky!
