A Quick Note on Apple Review Times (and What's Coming)
Big changes are coming. I don't want to say more than that yet. But I want to be upfront about the release cadence in the meantime.
Apple review is slow
Apple's App Store review is taking about a week per submission. Every fix or update I ship goes into that queue, and I don't hear back for roughly seven days. If it gets rejected for anything, the clock resets. So a normal-week release can turn into a two-week release.
If you want to see what recently made it through, the latest What's New post has the shipped list.
Android is running faster
Google Play review is measured in hours, not days. If you're on Android and you notice a change land quickly, that's why. Both platforms ship the same builds (iOS and Android), but Apple's queue is longer right now.
We're not delaying anything
If you've talked to us in support about a bug, or suggested a feature we said we'd look at, that's the reason it's not in your hands yet. We're not delaying. Apple review is just slow.
It'll all land as one batch, and I'll write it up then. Thanks for your patience.
