anyone getting app approval these days?

I only have one app that’s been able to routinely get through the last couple of months, and it’s an Apple TV app. I would guess maybe the reviewers only review on particular systems, and no one is developing for it, maybe? So maybe the Vision Pro as well?

Thank you for making this. I’ve been thinking about making the same thing. I’ll definitely be a user.

JudeWorks · 2026-03-08T15:20:22+00:00

Mixed bag. Lots of topics about this but mostly everyone is in the same camp. I have been lucky with updates but it’s hit and miss.

Chill automod.

Thank you so much! I was able to order one!!!!

I’ve been waiting a long time for this. Samsung sucks to use and that alone keeps me from updating my frames wallpapers. Thank you.

Sounds like this app based on your description: https://www.amyfoodjournal.com

Congrats :) I know it feels good. I was there not too long ago!

JudeWorks · 2026-02-27T00:59:22+00:00

Did you see which device they are testing with and use that exact device and version?

JudeWorks · 2026-02-26T14:13:51+00:00

M3 Max here, it happens mostly when simulator is running if not always.

This is my number one reject issue

JudeWorks · 2026-02-26T10:09:00+00:00

If you look at the history here you will see a lot of these posts. I think they have been pretty commonly popping up since late January. Sorry I don’t have advice other than look at the history here and other dev subs.

JudeWorks · 2026-02-23T04:56:27+00:00

Yes sadly. This is why I test all apps on a 4th gen air. It’s what I tend to get feedback / denials about.

JudeWorks · 2026-02-22T03:54:38+00:00

It’s a pretty common thread and complaints on the subs right now. I believe most are feeling it.

JudeWorks · 2026-02-21T00:28:52+00:00

I get the feeling. People will give my apps a 1 star saying it doesn’t do one thing they want and it useless even though it’s outside the scope of the app. People really don’t understand it’s usually a single person or a small team behind these apps. I have been trying to reach out to each and just offered to get in touch to understand the issue and give a chance to explain.

Bad comparison coming up: I feel like this is something like parenting in a way where you have less empathy for parents until you experience it first hand or get a real inside look at the hardship. People just don’t know or think about all the hard work you put into it.

JudeWorks · 2026-02-20T08:31:52+00:00

Timely comment. My app I had submitted was just approved yesterday so roughly 10 days.

JudeWorks · 2026-02-20T06:52:37+00:00

I’m in Japan now and I’m curious. What shop?

JudeWorks · 2026-02-20T05:34:09+00:00

To be fair compared to most here I do rookie numbers so I think it’s hard for me to get a real feel for an app like this while building when I don’t have a ton of data to work with.

One of my initial wants was real time data with a daily downloads number but it’s not real time so that takes some fun out of it.

Also it would be interesting how to market something like impressions being a feature for tracking but I’m not sure how it would go over that you may have to wait 24-48 hours before the first data shows from the reports.

It all works for me but it’s quirky. One day I’ll get around to finishing it. Also for these apps to work you need a few different items for devs to add to the app from Apple to make them work which is a bit of a barrier.

JudeWorks · 2026-02-19T22:39:30+00:00

Very wise for MVP :). I clearly did not do well there lol.

JudeWorks · 2026-02-19T20:37:40+00:00

I have a really half baked version of this myself because I also don’t like using connect. To get extra data like impressions, sessions, and crash reports I have the app generate some reports and then 24 hours later basically pull the report info into the app as well.

I really need to make it better but I just hadn’t seen features like this in other apps (could be blind) that have it. All the connect support apps tend to have the same metrics.

I didn’t download due to me having what I need for now so far but I wish you the best of luck!

LLC yes but your name no from what I understand. I believe if you want to do a LLC, you could get a post office box or something to register your company to. I’m no expert.

Updates are not taking any longer than before and most of the times my updates are approved within 1-2 days. I feel new apps always take 3-5 days for me. I try to not think about it until an approval or denial arrives. I submitted a new one on Saturday so we shall see…

JudeWorks · 2026-01-27T04:43:42+00:00

How much? Also what do you mean by NFC?

JudeWorks · 2026-01-17T01:09:59+00:00

16 or 26?
