   Rubber Duck▲354

   Hi everyone! I'm the maker of Rubber Duck. After shipping iOS apps, I realized how unpredictable App Store review can be. Even great apps get rejected for: missing metadata, small UI issues, broken flows on certain iPhone models, forgotten privacy entries, one-off crashes Apple found and many more. Each rejection set the launch back days. So I built Rubber Duck to be the “review before the review.” It combines automated checks with human testers using real iPhones like an App Store reviewer, but faster and kinder.
