How It Works
From submission anxiety to confident approval.
Most developers learn the App Store review process the hard way — through rejections. We give you the shortcut: what reviewers actually look for.
01
Share Your App
Send us your app details, build, metadata, and screenshots. We review everything a real Apple reviewer would examine before you submit.
02
Get the Insider Audit
We deliver a prioritized report identifying every guideline risk, exactly how reviewers interpret those guidelines, and precise recommendations to resolve each one.
03
Submit With Confidence
Address the issues, submit your app, and move forward knowing you have done everything possible to ensure a clean first-submission approval.
Why AppVize
The only consultant who has actually been a reviewer.
Every other App Store consultant works from the same publicly available guidelines you can read yourself. AppVize is different — our principal consultant spent years as an Apple App Reviewer and Program Manager, evaluating thousands of apps from the inside.
That means we know not just what the guidelines say — but how reviewers actually interpret them, the patterns that trigger rejections, and the specific language that resolves appeals.

Services & Pricing
Expert App Store guidance. Transparent pricing.
Every service is built around one goal — getting your app approved with the least friction possible.
All advice. No guesswork.
AppVize Consulting was built on a simple premise: developers deserve access to the same level of knowledge that Apple's own reviewers have. Our services translate years of insider reviewer experience into practical, actionable guidance.
We work with independent developers, startups, and enterprise mobile teams across every app category. Whether you are launching your first app or managing a portfolio of fifty, we have a service that fits your needs and budget.
All consulting is based exclusively on publicly available Apple guidelines and professional judgment. We never share Apple proprietary information.
Why our advice is different
Most App Store consultants work from the same guidelines you can read for free on Apple's website. AppVize is founded by a former Apple App Reviewer and Program Manager who spent years evaluating real submissions. We know not just what the rules say — but how reviewers interpret edge cases, what language triggers scrutiny, and how appeals are evaluated internally.

AppVize Founder
Founder & Principal Consultant · Former Apple App Reviewer & Program Manager
Before founding AppVize Consulting, our founder spent years at Apple as an iOS App Reviewer and Program Manager — directly evaluating thousands of app submissions against Apple's guidelines and making the approval decisions that developers were anxiously waiting for.
That experience gave AppVize Consulting something no other App Store consultant has: a genuine first-hand understanding of how reviewers think, what triggers rejections, how edge cases are evaluated, and what language in an appeal actually works.
AppVize Consulting was built to make that knowledge accessible to developers and companies who deserve a fair shot at getting their app approved without unnecessary back-and-forth with Apple's review process.
All consulting advice provided by AppVize is based exclusively on publicly available Apple guidelines and professional judgment developed through years of experience. AppVize does not disclose or rely on any proprietary Apple information.

Our mission
To eliminate the guesswork from App Store submissions by giving developers direct access to the expertise that only comes from having been on the other side of the review. Every developer deserves a fair, informed shot at approval — and AppVize exists to make that possible.
A note on our approach: All consulting advice provided by AppVize Consulting is based exclusively on publicly available Apple App Store Review Guidelines and the professional judgment of our consultant. AppVize Consulting is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Apple Inc. in any way. We do not disclose, share, or rely on any Apple proprietary or confidential information.
