KenS · 03-27-2009, 08:11 AM

Still "In Review". Starting to fear that I'm in the dreaded many week wait queue. No visibility into the progress other than "In Review". Aaarrrgggghhh!!!

Of course the good news is that I have version 1.1 almost done

Above is an interesting read on the current state of the iTunes store and application approvals.

I liked the following list of top complaints:

- Delays in approval. Although Apple claims that 96% of apps submitted in February were approved — 98% within seven days — reports persist of apps languishing in the queue for months.
- Delayed payments. The waits for monthly payments have grown longer this year, on occasion violating the contract that says they must be paid within 45 days of the end of the month. See here.
- A punitive refund policy. As Techcrunch’s Leena Rao reports, developers get only 70% of each sale, but if a user demands a refund within 90 days, Apple makes the developer return 100% of the sale price.
- Failure to police the App Store. Several developers (three that we know of) are loudly complaining that clones of their original apps have been approved by Apple and are now being sold by copycats on the App Store. See here and here.
