Graph of average App Store review times

Forgive my ignorance but what does "average review times" mean? Number of times app is run before review? Time of the day (although y axis limits might exclude this)? The number of reviews?

I think this graph needs needs a Y axis label with units.

I think it's the number of days it takes Apple to review your app before it can be sold in the Appstore.

oh, of course. I feel stupid now!

I got fixated on user reviews rather than Apple reviews. Quite telling of my state of mind really :)

not stupid at all, I came to the comments to find out what 'review times'meant is well. I had the same confusion.

Title should include 'Mac'. E.g. "Graph of average Mac App Store review times".

iOS version here: http://reviewtimes.shinydevelopment.com/ios-annual-trend-gra...

Review times seem to be falling before the Dec 21-28 shutdown.

Perhaps they're clearing the backlog?

Interesting question. Another one is, why the graph differs so much with the iOS one:

is there a similar one for the Google Play Store?

The Google Play store does not have a formal review process like Apple does. Once you submit your app, you can expect it to appear on Google Play within 30 minutes to an hour.
