HTML page limit!?

My app does have some native features such as quiz, camera, image upload/gallery, maps, and event/calender functionality but reading through the forum seems more and more apps are getting rejected on the basis that there is too much HTML content or the app functions similar to a website. This worries me somewhat as I have over 500 html pages complied in my app :S now I have 2 apps that im aiming to launch at the same time so its important to me that both have a good chance of getting approved. My question is, based on peoples experiences/knowledge is there a limit to the amount of HTML pages an app can contain? Ive seen many, many apps whos content is basicly pulled straight from the web and which dont offer much native functionality.

Hi, I don't think it's the quantity of HTML pages that they are concerned with. I think what they have an issue with is apps that primarily consist of content that could just as easily be accessed via a mobile browser or web app. Given that your app has native features, coupled with HTML content (which could be dynamically generated by native features), I think you stand a good chance of being approved. But, I don't work for Apple, and I've been surprised before! That's just my two cents based on experience and watching the forums. Mark

You know from experience, apple is more prone to accept html if it LOOKS native - take that as you will! Cheers, David buzztouchmods.com
