- derefr 17y agoThis process could actually be formalized. Picture each app submission coming with "references", like on a resume: well-known beta testers that Apple will phone up or email and ask what they thought of the app. It seems like this is how the reviewing effort should be balanced between the reviewer and the reviewee, actually: developers want to be "hired" (published), but Apple doesn't care much to "hire" (publish) a merely-mediocre developer. The developers should be tasked with providing Apple good reasons to "hire" them, or, more neutrally, good, hard customer data upon which to base their decisions.
