Vibe Rater Guide
App Store Rejection Stories
App Store rejection stories are where optimism goes to get humbled. Vibe Rater treats them as lessons, not shame.
Why they matter
Rejections expose messy store copy, broken flows, privacy gaps, subscription confusion, and assumptions founders did not know they were making.
What Vibe Rater covers
We cover what broke, what fixed it, and what the next founder can avoid.
