Your App Store reviewer is a user. Your listing is a product page.
Most submission guides are engineering documents. They explain how to make the technical parts work. Almost none treat submission as a UX problem, which it is. The reviewer is a user with a time budget. Your listing is a product page competing in a grid. The same first-impression rules that apply to onboarding apply here, and almost nobody applies them.

App review notes are often reduced to the simplest form: the reviewer's email and a test password. However, this approach often leaves important insights unaddressed, causing the reviewer to miss key aspects of the app and potentially leading to rejection. To improve the review process, it is essential to write a detailed route for the reviewer, focusing on a user's experience rather than just providing credentials.
By walking through the app as if it were a product page, teams can ensure that all features are visible and functioning properly. The reviewer's time is limited, so providing a clear, concise walkthrough can significantly enhance the likelihood of approval. Additionally, incorporating screenshots and changelogs into the review notes can provide valuable context for reviewers, showcasing the app's unique features and recent updates.
By adopting this user-centric approach to App Review Notes, teams can increase their chances of approval and provide a better experience for both reviewers and users.
