How to distribute iOS app?

I'm a newb to this but somehow managed to create an Android app that's in market and an iOS app that has been rejected by Apple because it's not pretty enough. It's an app that will help my fellow Hawaii Paramedics (a lot of whom are not willing to jailbreak and are NOT very computer/phone savvy). What would be the easiest way to get the app to them? A lot of them have been waiting for close to 3 weeks for this. Can I email it to them? I've read there is a way via creating a webpage. I need simple how to's. Thanks in advance.

Your end users will struggle to get it on their phone if it's not in the App Store. However, you could try a few differnet approaches if there are only a small group of them. Also.. Google 'how to distribute iOS app' for more ideas too? a) Use TestFlight, an online service to help distribute apps to beta-testers. b) Use Apple's built in Over the Air distribution method. c) Use Apple's built in iTunes installation method for 'distribution' not 'release' All of these methods are techie and do take some skill. But, if you can figure out out to compile an Android app I'm sure you can figure one of these methods too. Maybe after getting your short list of buddies running your software you could try to spice-it-up a bit to get it approved by Apple. That of course makes it sooo much easier ;-)

Testflight (https://testflightapp.com/) is actually pretty easy to use. I'm using it so I can send clients apps for approval and testing as they're built. I highly recommend it.
