The reviewer will have been born in 2001, and won't realise his year of birth is actually the title of a film as well

To be honest, I think the review process is totally flawed in this respect. Loads of old UK TV programs have got soundboards based on them, as the reviewers are generally US based and won't have a clue what they're reviewing. However, if someone posted a 'Lost' soundboard (except for ABC) it'd be rejected out of hand.

I guess it's due to what's popular with the reviewers. If they've heard of it, it gets rejected. If they haven't, they ask the guys on either side of them. If those haven't heard of it either, it gets passed, no copyright issues, move along please

yeah, I'm really annoyed that people who spend so little time making a soundboard that has a few mario sounds on it, put a disclaimer on it, and make thousands of dollars, it really pisses me off

i hope he gets sued by nintendo.....

They review the apps in the US only. This last page in iTunes Connect/Manage Your Application is for preview your entries in the according stores (e.g. different description in different stores).

Yeah, 30+ days is a nightmare.
Just noticing that im not one of the 97% anymore... Its all new to me at the moment as its my first app.
Maybe should start a "Your First App Experience Thread" to help people with first app paranoia.

My theory is they send this email when then reviewer has to send the app to a superior to make the final decision.

So, the superior takes 30 days to see an app? :|

I'm worrying, because I read a LOT of horror stories about the "unexpected additional time" email... Some took MONTHS to approve/reject, others didn't get an answer even if they reject binary and send it again... I don't mind getting a reject email... I just want an answer damn it!

Maths Challenge - iTunes link

Submitted to Apple - October 02
Accepted by Apple - October 13

For some reason they accepted this app before my other apps even though I submitted the other ones mid September. I guess they liked the app!

I submitted 2 apps at 9pm on 10/4 and they were approved at 2pm on 10/14. I submitted a different app at 4am on 10/4 and it was rejected at 9pm on 10/13.

So I would say there was roughly a 10 day wait. It will be interesting to see how the wait times change with this new in-app purchase for free apps. I would assume people either making changes to current apps or submitting new ones.

Submitted one app on Oct 8th, got rejected yesterday (Oct 20th) due to a keyword which wasn't directly related to the application. So resubmitted the binary and removed that keyword, let's see...

Submitted Oct 15, realized I hadn't removed the "Thanks for testing!" first-run alert, resubmitted Oct 16... still waiting, obviously

Those of you who have had your app rejected: is the turn-around time any shorter when you resubmit?
