That’s a lot of apps. 8,500 per week with 40 reviewers works out to 212 apps per reviewer per week — about 40 per day.
It's even worse than that, quoting the Apple text:
There are more than 40 full-time trained reviewers, and at least two different reviewers study each application so that the review process is applied uniformly.
So yes, more than 40 per day for a first review. On top of that they have to do at least another 40 for a second review.
That's just plain insane.
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoIt certainly helps to explain the seeming arbitrariness of some decisions. In fact, I'm inclined to think that the reviewers must be a heroic bunch not to screw up more than they do!
- mrshoe 17y agoPlain insane, indeed. I have no idea how they even pull that off. I feel sorry for their families. I really hope Apple hires and trains about another 200 of these reviewers.
- Estragon 17y agoI have no idea how they even pull that off. It's easy, if you're happy to have the kind of capricious review decisions which have been getting Apple into so much trouble.
