Everyone wants a piece of the iOS goldrush.
I can't even imagine how much rubbish they have to go through, there mus be hundreds of "fart apps" etc being submitted.

Gernot, I think with Gack, because of the kind of App it is, they'll have to take longer to check it out.

Oh my God. This reminds me I have to complete my projects.  :doubt:

Can anyone imagine the amount of reviewers they have? HUUUUGE.

26000 per week is 2.58 apps per minute, or 115.000 per month.

Apple numbers are so huge...

I always wondered how do they check too long, or too difficult games? Do they have to complete each and every game?

For example, one can make an impossibly difficult game that after level 78 turns into one big nasty Coffee Mod.
Or after level 119, it turns into an emulator of 8bit consoles, with roms included.  :P
