Hello App Review Team, Thank you for the detailed review and feedback. We identified and addressed two issues reported during the previous review. 1. Search Results Not Appearing The issue occurred because the DSLD ingredient dataset was inadvertently configured differently between development and release builds. In the previously submitted build, the dataset was referenced via an external URL instead of the bundled snapshot file. As a result, the dataset was not loaded properly in the TestFlight / release environment, which caused ingredient searches (e.g., “Zinc”, “Vitamin D”, “DHA”) to return no results. This has been corrected. The app now loads the DSLD ingredient dataset directly from the bundled snapshot file included in the application package. Ingredient search results now appear correctly in both development and TestFlight builds. 2. Low-Contrast Text on Consent Screen and Analysis Detail View The consent screen did not explicitly set a background view, which caused the translucent card to render over a light system background on certain devices (such as iPad compatibility mode). This reduced text readability. A similar issue also affected the Analysis Detail view under certain display conditions. Both the consent screen and the Analysis Detail view have been updated to explicitly include the application’s background image so that the translucent card and text maintain sufficient contrast across devices. Verification The updated build has been thoroughly tested using TestFlight to ensure the behavior matches what end users experience in the release environment. We confirmed that ingredient searches return results correctly (e.g., Zinc, Vitamin D, DHA) and that the consent screen text is clearly readable. Thank you again for your review, and please let us know if any additional information would be helpful. Best regards.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NutriCompass at none against MobilEM's 10. MobilEM's advantage is chart position (#43 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
