# App Creation Comics Apple's App Review Guidelines are Now Styled Like a Graphic Comic Book By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-06-20 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/app-review-guidelines References: [9to5mac](http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/13/apple-releases-comic-book-madefure-app-store-review-guidelines/) & [developer.apple](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/) Apple recently announced that its App Review Guidelines will be receiving a user-friendly update as part of a special partnership with Madefire. Madefire is a [comic book reader](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-coloring-drawing-book-app) for iOS and the [Apple TV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mls-season-pass), which is now helping to transform Apple's App Review Guidelines into a story-focused graphic comic book. In this new format, users will be taken through multiple steps of the [app-creation process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketch2appio) with topics like safety, performance, design and legal. The downloadable 'App Review Guidelines: The Comic Book' does not replace the former guidelines, but offers a more engaging way to appeal to young developers in particular who might opt to skip over long text documents. At WWDC 2016, Apple pointed out that one of its developers is just nine years old. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Graphic Comic Book Guidelines:** The use of graphic comics in creating guidelines will become increasingly popular for user engagement. - **User-friendly App Creation:** Technological advancements will continue to make app creation more user-friendly. - **Young Developers:** The rise of young developers will shape the app creation industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile App Development:** Mobile app development will continue to benefit from user-centric innovation. - **Publishing:** The use of graphic comics in education and training materials is a new opportunity in the publishing industry. - **Education:** The use of storytelling and graphic comics will become increasingly popular in educational materials for children especially. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone App Iconography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ios-app-icon-book.md) - [Superhero-Guided Workout Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superheroguided-workout-app.md) - [Liquid-Glass Design Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-glass1.md) - [Retro-Inspired Animated Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animated-stickers.md) - [Re-Invented Comic Book Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veve-comics.md) - [Tactile Digital Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactile-digital-comics.md) - [Expressive App Icons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-teen-icons.md) - [Personalized Comic Book Creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamcanvas.md) - [Immersive Comic Storytelling Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-comic-storytelling.md)
