App Review Rejected

Hi All, I have posted an app to the app store, awaiting to get past the in review stage, but I have been rejected. This is what the resolution center says; 2.13 We found that your app provides a limited set of features and functionality, and focuses primarily on marketing or promoting your business, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. We encourage you to review your app concept and evaluate whether you can incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the Guidelines. For app design information, check out the videos: Getting Started video: The Ingredients of Great iPhone Apps and iPhone User Interface Design, available on the iOS Developer Center, and the iOS Human Interface Guidelines in particular, the sections, Great iOS Apps Embrace the Platform and HI Design Principles and Human Interface Principles. 10.6 Additionally, we found the user interface of your app is not of sufficient quality to be appropriate for the App Store. Apps that provide a poor user experience are not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically, we noticed your app does not take advantage of the iOS platform. It would be appropriate to add iOS specific UI and functionality rather than displaying just a picker with links. Please evaluate whether you can make the necessary revisions to improve the user experience of your app. Alternatively, you may wish to consider building a web app using HTML5. HTML5 is the major new version of HTML and enables audio and video to play natively in the browser without requiring proprietary plug-ins. Using HTML5, web apps look and behave like native iPhone and iPad apps, and using HTML5's Offline Application Cache, your web apps work even when the device is offline. With web apps, you have flexibility to deliver as much or as little functionality as you desire. If you wish to build an HTML5 web app, you can do so and distribute it directly from your web site. It is not appropriate to submit an HTML5 web app to the App Store. To get started with iPhone or iPad web apps, please review Getting Started with iPhone Web Apps. For a description of the HTML elements and attributes you can use in Safari on iPhone, check out Safari HTML Reference: Introduction. Any help would be appreciated, even if it is a walkthrough of using v1.5

I had this kind of rejection for one of my apps. I added a camera function and message sender. It is a recipe app so I asked the users to send in their recipes and to include pictures if possible. This got the app accepted. Hope this helps. Geraldine

Yea I had a few rejected with same response. This is just a nice way for them to say our apps are boring. After I got creative they started to fly through the process.

So are they saying that the iPad is not a media consumption device?
