Neither store requires a video, but listings with one convert noticeably better, and conversion feeds ranking.
Recommended actionAdd a 15-30 second preview of the core flow.
Negative reviews go unanswered
Only 0% of the stored reviews have a developer reply. Replies lift ratings and are read by both stores as an active-listing signal.
Recommended actionReply to every 1-2 star review; many users raise their score after a reply.

What the store itself requires
Apple App Store rules that apply to HotelTonight: Hotel Booking
Quoted from Apple App Store's own documentation, with the source for each. These are the published requirements — we report what the public listing shows against them and never assert a violation we cannot see.
Removal after three years without an update
Apple evaluates apps for removal when they have not been updated in three years AND fail a minimal download threshold over a rolling 12 months. Developers get 90 days' notice to ship an update. Apps that crash on launch are removed immediately, with no notice.
What this report can see: We can see the last update date. We cannot see download volume, so we cannot say whether the second condition is met.
Apple Developer — App Store ImprovementsWhat Apple says drives search ranking
Apple names two groups: text relevance — the title, subtitle, keyword field and primary category — and user behaviour, including downloads, ratings and reviews. The keyword field holds 100 characters, comma-separated with no spaces between terms.
What this report can see: We can audit the title, subtitle and category. The keyword field is not public, so it is never scored.
Apple Developer — App Store searchProduct page limits
App name 30 characters, subtitle 30, promotional text 170 (editable without shipping a release), up to 10 screenshots and 3 app previews of 30 seconds each. Apple advises against adding keywords to the description for SEO.
What this report can see: Name, subtitle, screenshots and previews are all publicly visible and audited.
