AppReviewRadar review-time benchmark

Shows iOS developers real current App Store review wait times for similar apps

Problem

A developer's iOS app sat in Waiting for Review for four days, while a different app two years ago cleared in under 24 hours. In community threads people can only guess whether this is normal, with no live reference data.

Solution

A crowdsourced plus public-data review-time dashboard: developers anonymously report submission, in-review, and approval timestamps; the product shows medians and outliers by app category, region, and holiday, and alerts when your app's wait becomes abnormal.

Users

Indie iOS developers and small app teams; product managers who need to plan launch dates

MVP

Anonymous reporting of review status timestamps (submitted/in review/approved/rejected); live medians and percentile charts by category and region; 'is it abnormal right now' banner; auto-reminder on approval; public-data trend page

Revenue

Free basic data, subscription for historical trends, API, and anomaly alerts (e.g. $5/mo); one-time purchase for indie developers

Why now

AI-assisted development has increased individual submission volume, making review congestion more common while Apple stays opaque; crowdsourced data can cold-start with a small community, ideal for an indie dev
