   We were seeing very regular releases posted until the last week or two and I haven't seen any new ones. Is Apple backed up, or just no one awaiting approval currently? I'm curious as I'm getting pretty close to release.

   I've been told our novelty app 'is requiring unexpected additional time for review'. Although I think thats because of the content, not backlogs at Apples end. They've at least emailed me every 6-7 days (so far) to let me know their looking into it....

   @PhilM, thanks for the reply. Good to know they are communicating with you

   @pabloruiz55, have you heard anything at all from apple during the 12 days?

   No, nothing. I assume they haven't even played it since there are no highscores submitted (?)

   In the developer's portal there is an image that says that 96% of the apps are being reviewed in 14 days, so i am waiting for that day to come to start worrying. :P

   That figure now says 88% actually ;)
   My game was released exactly 2 weeks ago today, and approval took 7 days.
   I sent a new update on friday so it's been 5 days so far.

   Since the update I made for Mini Taxi addresses lots of issues with the steering and physics, and it's quite "important" (duh), I was cheeky and wrote a quick email to the app review team the day after submitting, mentioning what I had done in the update and informing them than content and functionality had remained completely unchanged.
   I got a reply yesterday thanking me for my "expedite review request" and telling me it's being reviewed, although from the wording I suspect it's a copy&paste of "shut up and wait" email, I'll keep you informed :)

   So, well yea just my 2 cents as they say.

   Followup:
   Update was approved yesterday.
   So that makes it a 5 day approval time for the update.
   Woo!

   Go play Mini Taxi! It's highly improved!
   Yei!

   EDIT: Got an email from the review team, saying that they made a one-time exception for this "critical" update of Mini Taxi.
   So I guess that email actually did do something, let's keep that one in mind ;)

   My app was in review for 28 days! But it finally launched today. I just typed up a post in another thread about it...here's the link:

   Our cocos based game was submitted yesterday. Hopefully the review process is quick and painless.

    @patrickC, that is lame, I had a version of StickWars (which was like #8 paid app in the US at the time) which froze every time a certain dialog popped up (stupid FastDirector!). So it was kind of a huge bug!

    I emailed them once to try to rush them, but it still took three weeks to get the 'quick bugfix' update approved. Seriously Apple....learn some consistency!
