I hope you are able to get your app approved at 12+. I have already had problems getting accepted at that rating. I clicked a few more options which still kept it at 12+ and resubmitted again. So I hope I get approved. I have been thinking more about this and the only good option at this point is for apple to add an option in the ratings. “Does this allow access to the internet”. Now this option by itself should not raise the rating of the app at all. However then there should be an option parents can select which will not allow internet apps to run if they so choose. This would solve all the problems without requiring us to artificially inflate our ratings to handle situations that are unlikely to exist. Also apple needs to include there own apps in the ratings system as well.

I have been watching approvals closely the last few days and I am seeing more apps rated at 12+ but not seeing requirements of 17+. Not sure why my app seems to have been rejected once at 12+ already.
