“Various developers have said Apple’s turnaround time in approving applications for its iPhone and iPod touch App Store has significantly improved since the start of 2010,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“Developer Jared Judd, creator of the application “Cootie Lert,” told AppleInsider that his software was approved by Apple in just 48 hours — and it was submitted over the weekend,” Hughes reports. “‘Submitted it on Saturday January 9th, and it got approved Monday January 11th,’ he wrote in an e-mail. ‘So one of the 2 days was a Sunday.'”
Hughes reports, “From Dec. 23 through Dec. 28, Apple disabled iTunes Connect, but since its return, developers have said Apple’s performance has improved significantly.”

There’s an app for that too!

I have three apps on the App Store. None have taken more than a couple of days to approve.
I can add my recent experience on the improved speed as well. I submitted 3 apps last Wed and by Friday all had been approved. Last year it would have been 2 weeks at the earliest.
I gave up on the app store after a nearly 18 months run and seven successful apps, but then six-eight week delays to get answers to questions that Apple themselves initiated. Less stress now in my life

We got one of our apps approved in 5 hours! Wasn’t sure if they were letting updates through faster than brand new apps or if maybe they we taking longer with new developers who hadn’t submitted anything yet etc. But here’s hoping it continues, because the turn around to release fixes/updates was making my boss consider stopping developing for the platform!
@ DaveyJJ,
You remind me of CNBC. Report something good from one side of an issue then make up some bad bullshit so the whole report looks fair and balanced.
Clue alert! The article says it is better. Thanks for proving the article’s point by telling us how bad it used to be.
Good news.. was just approved as developer and will submit 1st app soon.
My app will not fart, but can improve your life in a significant way. That’s all I’m tellin…
