Same situation here. It's my first app, submitted on Dec 04, "In Review" on Dec 11th, but still "In Review" as of today ( a week later ). What are they looking for? My app takes 2 minutes MAX to look at its basic feature set(s)!

You may be looking at a rejection...cross your fingers.


On another note, we just had a new app approved in 8 days...not bad.

Thank you Apple Reviewers

Glad to hear that...and good news for the rest of us.

In prior months...a longer than usual review meant rejection...at least for me.

LOL...and back then you could also easily have a megahit like IShoot.

Good luck doing that today...

Back then, apps were a novelty and there just wasn't much to download for the phone.

Today....114,000 apps...all trying to get through the eye of the needle.

If you submitted on Dec 12, I think is this the fastest record ever.
5 days from submit to approval.

Wow...

Thank you Apple Reviewers

Just approved!
Submitted 11th, approved 18th (Dec).

I have set the availability date to the 19th.
Now I am patiently waiting.

Check out Rail Adventures 3D for the iPhone:

(I am not sure if you can view the link yet, as the availability date is set to the 19th)

Anyone that gets new apps approved the day before the itunesconnect shutdown is going to be very lucky... an extra week of exposure in the new release list, and at the best time of the year. (Assuming Apple does not continue approving while itunesconnect is shut down.)

Another new app just got approved.

Took 6 days in total...from "Upload Received" to "Approved".

Things are really speeding up.

Thank you Apple Reviewers.

Finally, DeskWhiz has been approved by Apple! It's a Digital Photo Frame + Music Player + Clock. I submitted it last November 10, then it went through two rejections, before Apple finally approved it after 3 days "In Review." Really thought I'd have to wait until after the iTunes Connect Christmas hiatus

Can you please specify if these are new apps or updates to existing apps?

Would also be nice to see a link to itunes for the apps... can compare relative complexity of applications that way, and you also get a free plug.

Looks like EuropeanUnionCitizen is a new app based on the link, though I can't read German, so I'm not quite sure what the application does. One screenshot with a picker and weblinks... looks like a relatively simple application, so a very fast turnaround makes sense.


Thanks.

First app was submitted on Nov. 4. Simple but potentially controversial app.
It went in review on Nov. 9. On that same day I received the ever popular "requires unexpected time needed" email. Waited two weeks then emailed apple. Got a reply that basically said we'll get back to you when we get back to you. The good news was that I got a chance to expand my street slang vocabulary. Got a call on Dec. 16 saying they rejected the app and stating why.


Submitted my second app AirPiano on
Dec 4. It went in review on Dec. 9 and available for sale on Dec. 14.
