Some of us interpret the guidelines literally because we've been burned before. A couple of years ago, I spent months working on an app, including paying a designer, and I was really proud of the final product. After it got reviewed, Apple added a new rule to the guidelines and rejected the app. That was a seriously expensive lesson. Now I recommend interpreting the guidelines as strictly as possible... even if you know of other apps that squeak past the rule, it doesn't mean you won't get burned.

> Apps that are "beta", "demo", "trial", or "test" versions will be rejected

It sure sounds like your app breaks this rule. I'd ask what your app is, but I don't want Apple to see this and reject you.
