Green Wars has finally been released to the app store. It took a little longer than expected. Apple says 98% of the apps that get reviewed take 4 days to be accepted. Our app took 11 days to get accepted which is not bad, but I would have liked 4.
I broke down yesterday and wrote an email to Apple asking them to please accept our app. It went like this
Hey reviewer We got a phone call from a man named Richard asking us to change our description. We did that a week ago, and have received no word on our app. Could you please tell us what we should. We waste about two hours of our day refreshing the iTunes connect page to no avail. Sometimes we break down and cry. We don't have a complicated app. It is a simple game. We love you, and wish the best. Please escalate our app review. Thank you!
Richard actually never said he would call us back or ever get in contact with us again. It seemed like a good trick to pretend we deserved to talk to someone really.
This is the response we got.
Thank you for contacting iPhone Developer Program regarding review time. Each application submitted to Apple has different capabilities, features, and complexity, which means that individual review times vary. Once the application review process has been completed, you will receive an email notification. Regards, iPhone Developer Program
It does not seem as if we did get to talk to someone real so we were a bit saddened. It seems as if the “Program” emailed us back. Im not sure if thats the application or the whole iPhone Developer Program team. If its the team then I’m flattered.
Anyway, This morning our app finally appeared in the App store. Go check it out and download it for free from iTunes. You can also see some pictures and info about our apps over at OrangaTank
Thanks for your support, and please download our app.
