This seems like a fairly common thing right now - I've got an update for my app that has been waiting to be reviewed for several weeks now, and lots of others have been reporting waiting times close to a month. Prior to this summer, wait times were usually around a week.<p>Hopefully it is just a temporary slowdown due to Mountain Lion causing a bunch of new app submissions, and not indicative of long-term staffing reductions.
Same thing on the iOS App Store. I submitted a new app which took 12 days to go in review. It was rejected for a valid reason (I was saving temp data in Documents/). The fix took 20 minutes to implement but I'll likely have to wait another 12 days.<p>I wish Apple had a system similar to Debian's lintian which would look into your code and gave your warnings for bad stuff.
In my experience, being "in review" for a very long time means that something in your app has triggered an internal discussion. Since it's internal, it's entirely opaque to you. Imagine that there is a group of people wrangling their schedules to meet a few times and talk about your app, if it helps. It might even be true.<p>But aside from that possibility, I know that iOS review times have grown lengthy due to the huge number of apps being readied for the iOS 6 / iPhone 5 release. Pure speculation on my part, but I guess it's possible that Mac app reviewers have been temporarily reallocated to iOS app reviews.
Counter example: My Mac App Store App (MiniTune) update took 9 days to get in to review and three hours to review two weeks ago. They did take three weeks for the previous release, about 6 months ago.<p>It's a simple app though.
I once got into the iOS app store in 2 hours, it was the first time I was sending an app to the store and it was in 2012. So don't count on anything. App Store may come out and ruin all your plans.
I have the same problem if its any consolation, and in my case, it might have been longer than 2 months..<p>I actually started hammering away at their online contact form for app reviews. After I did that suddenly a few days later it went to "In Review" and then "Preparing for the App Store".<p>If you have a serious bug fix, there is actually an expedited review service which has a theoretical turn around time of 2 days. I used it twice and the first response was within 12 hours and the second time within 48 hours.
Just because sometimes posts like this that make the front-page of major social sites get taken as gospel, I'd like to add that all 3 of my iOS games took about 14 days to get reviewed, and approved within ~48 hours. They are mostly simple games and I don't do anything out of the ordinary. It didn't seem unreasonable at all to me.
@op - I think your video would be heaps better served with some simple software like <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.techsmith.com/</a> which actually demo's the app ? Wouldn't take you long to actually show what it does ?
