Issues that stand out:

1. The location data is interesting but I have to question it accuracy.

2. Ten minutes of testing is way too little to spot subtle problems even in a simple app. Is this really the standard quality of review?

3. <cynically>Will Apple now re-review the app and reject it? Or will they reject later versions?</cynically>

2. We're assuming from that 10 minutes that there isn't a lot of semi-automated testing that does not involve a live internet connection, and I'm willing to bet theres a large amount of static testing against the binary. </respectful>

3. Why even hide behind a re-review? The fully covering NDA on the SDK has been lifted, but Apple still has contracts in place to use and publish apps. If publishing an unknown reviewer's (presumed) home address fits under a clause in the contract, Apple will most likely straight up revoke the app's approval. </cynical>

2. Our app is "In review" right now. For the first round our app reported back to us that it was active for about 55 seconds.
