Hi Bonzo. I wanted to do a similar app for my portfolio. Could you please tell me how you got it approved? I'm afraid that a gallery and contact information will not be enough for Apple to approve it. Thanks, Vali

Vali, As per above, it took me 3 attempts. the first 2 were both rejected for the reason "Cannot have a website compacted into an app" So basically i had to remove the "Contact Us - Email and FaceBook links", "About Us", "What we offer - Price lists etc etc" "Find Us - location maps". Basically everything that you could get from a website. I left the gallery as i saw multiple apps with that kind of function. With the help and suggestions of many on the forums (including our friend above - MacApple) i used the image upload plugin to allow users to upload there own work....im now seeing some interesting pics already!. I saw someone post some HTML twitter pluggin which can link to a twitter account to see posts. Then i did what everybody says.....ADD A QUIZ! seems to win apple over every time ! They basically told me that you have to have something that will make people keep opening your app. Peiopl suggested doing a monthly caption competition and the winner get something (like there name and their caption to appear on the pic. I didnt do this - bacause i dont know how ;) but its a good idea if you can do it Hope this helps
