Some metrics on reportedly faster App Store review times


Graham Spencer for Mac Stories:

It is too early to say conclusively, but given the extent of the reduction (and the sudden nature of it), I think it is fairly safe to guess that Apple has made some internal changes in order to improve the speed of App Review.

Data comes from a crowd-sourced repository appreviewtimes.com. Based on that, it appears the time it takes to get an app through Apple's review process has taken a sudden trend downwards. Looking at data going back to 2013 shows some variability, especially apparently seasonal variation. For 2016, however, things seem to have been sliding from about 4 days in April to now about 1.5 days, which is the shortest on record.
