What is this? This site tracks the average App Store review times for both the iOS and the Mac App Store using data crowdsourced from iOS and Mac developers.
Who is collecting this data? This site is an homage to the original appreviewtimes.com by Shiny Development, which was taken down some years ago. It has been rebuilt in the hope that it continues to provide useful information to developers around the world.
What happened to the original site? It became a victim of its own good news. Apple steadily improved the review process until times settled at a consistent 1–2 days, and with so little left to track the original site was retired.
So why bring it back? Review times have started creeping up again. The recent influx of vibe-coded apps has noticeably lengthened the review queue, so tracking average review times is once again useful for developers planning their releases.
Where does this data come from? This is not official Apple data. It is based only on anecdotal data gathered from people posting their latest review times on X using the #macreviewtime or #iosreviewtime hash tags.
How do I contribute data? It’s simple! Just post to X with the time it took for your last app review and include one of the hash tags (see above) along with a number of days. Just the hash tag and “X days” is all that is needed at a minimum. If you include a link to your app on the App Store it will also be shown on the raw data pages. Please do continue to post your times, this site is useless without constant data.
Should I include the “Waiting for Review” time as well as the “In Review” time? Yes. Include the full time from uploading your app and going into review right through to a “Ready for Sale” status.
Should I include weekends? Yes. Apple review and approve apps over the weekend. Bless them!
Should I include expedited reviews? No. Expedited reviews are a special case and this site is trying to capture the average standard review time. The same applies if your app “needs additional time in review”.
What if my app was rejected a few times? Don’t worry! Relax and make yourself a nice cup of tea, it happens to everyone! :) For the purposes of this site that would count as multiple reviews, just post the last successful review time.
How accurate is this data? The averages on this site are based only on the data gathered from the community which are a very small subset of the total number of apps which go through review each day. However it does give a reasonable indication of how review times are changing over time.
How is the average calculated? The average for each day on the graph is calculated using a truncated mean average based on historic data (using 14 days of data for the iOS store, 30 days for Mac, trimming 10% from each end of the sorted values). The current number of days average is simply the latest data point from that graph rounded to the nearest whole day.
How current is the data? Only reviews reported recently are actually used to calculate the averages above. The system checks for new posts every 30 minutes.
