Hot take: Apple needs to ditch the '90% of apps reviewed in 48 hours' metric and just give us a worst-case ETA. It’s basic UX psychology: underpromise and overdeliver. If you tell me it takes a week and I get approved in two days? I’m stoked.
But right now, the second that 48-hour mark hits, I’m stuck spamming F5 and doom-scrolling dev forums, looking for clues and convinced I’ve fallen into that cursed 10% with bad RNG. The 'Waiting for Review' status is a total black box—it tells you nothing. I saw some poor soul on Reddit who’s been in review limbo for three months... makes waiting a couple of weeks feel like a nothingburger.
Honestly, just give us a hard upper limit. It’s way better for our sanity and actually lets us plan our roadmap around the worst-case scenario.
