Saying goodbye to App Review Times
So, in early 2011 I created a site which crowdsourced App Store review time data from Twitter. Of course, there are always exceptions in the review process and any apps that legitimately required extra time in review would skew the data, but by using a truncated mean, and with more good data coming in than bad the averages turned out to be really accurate. ♂️ That isn’t why I’m shutting it down though, something else happened…
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.
