„Goodbye, AppReviewTimes“

You probably ended up here because you followed a link from the App Review Times site. As you will have read, unfortunately the site is no longer tracking crowdsourced data on how long it takes for an app to be reviewed. If you’re still looking for the answer to this question, it takes about a day. It’s been taking about that long since mid-2016 and review times have been very stable since then.

Die Wartezeit auf Freigaben von Apps und Updates war für viele Jahre ein echtes Thema. Im Jahr 2016 – kurz bevor iOS 10 vorgestellt wurde – verringerte sich die Zeit für den Zulassungsprozess von fünf auf zwei Werktage – ein Jahr davor waren es durchschnittlich noch rund neun Tage.

In 2016 Phil Schiller took over the App Store group inside Apple and pretty quickly review times reduced from weeks to “about a day” across all of the stores and review times have now been consistent for about three years. In my mind this problem is totally solved.
