Length of the review process right now?

Right now I'd LOVE an 11 day review. The volume must have picked up, because I'm sitting at 11 days to 'In Review' and another 11 to date. No response to my queries at all.

We just completed day 3 of "Waiting For Review" for our first binary submission. I've been stalking the "App Store Wait" thread and most people in July are reporting 11-12 days until they go "In Review". I still wonder if people are providing number of days with weekends included or not, because that makes a big difference.

What's whack is that there have been a couple of posts where people have said that they've only waited for "Wait for Review" status for just 3-4 days - and this was for July 2012! I don't know if they were trollin or what...

What's really whack with Apple right now is that there are several posts from Developers who's apps were released in the App Store in the last 3 business days not having their apps show up in the store rankings. All these devs reported that they had enough downloads to be in certain top rankings, but weren't seeing their apps anywhere at all.

Madness baby...

Thanks for the links! It seems like the standard wait now is around 11 days to even change status (up from the normal 7). Really frustrating to have zero communication on the 'extended review' once the status changes.

This was for a very minor update to a game that's been in the store for over a year.

A great surprise! And it's not even my birthday!

Though, we had a few returns. The update fixed a crash on startup. Perhaps that is the reason why it was fast-tracked?

It's amazing how inconsistent this is right now. We have a non-game app that has been waiting for review for 13 days now. No end in sight.

Apparently Apple is reading these forums because about an hour after I posted it went into review and is now available in the App Store. So put me down for 13 days.

My latest app approved in 12 days, current trend seems to be 12-13 days for the new apps.
