    I recieved a voicemail earlier from a representative from Apple regarding the app I submitted yesterday. I haven't submitted an app in a long time since yesterday so is this a new policy? The app was previously rejected for being useless. Any idea why they are calling?

    maybe since you sent them a useless app, they sent you a useless call?

    They are likely calling you to tell you why the App was rejected and to inform you to change some feature of the game in order to get it accepted.

    They are calling you to tell you that the useless app will be incredibly great on the new iSlate (or iPad watever) ;)

    The app wasn't rejected it is in review. When I said rejected I mean it was rejected a really long time ago.

    I was surprised when Apple called me over the Christmas holidays in response to the initial submission of Pocket Boxer. In the past, they've usually gotten in touch via email if at all. It was certainly a nice gesture on their part, and I believe that if this is a new policy, it's a wise move on their part. A quick phone call is more efficient than the typical vague emails, as you can get any needed clarification right then and there.

    BTW, what was your app?

    If you don't call them back, just expect it to turn up as "Rejected."

    At least that is our experience of 3 individual cases of this exact thing.

    The iRaq and iRan thing made me laugh :)

    On a more serious note, call Apple back, it can only mean good.
