App Store Changes

Well gentle readers, this is a RANT. It seems apple has made a few changes to the app store. First thing I noticed is that it is taking much longer than normal to get my apps evaluated. Witch Runes was submitted on 7/10. It was rejected a week later and resubmitted later the same day. Still no word on anything. The TopCat free app was submitted on 7/25 and according to the add reports, Apple has not looked at that one at all yet. (Interesting by product of ads! You can see any and all activity on your app!)

The Next thing (a good thing I think) is that Apple now requires keywords on all applications. I updated these yesterday. You can only have 100 chars worth of keywords counting the commas and spaces required as separators.

Next the ITunes Connect site was changed, and all the app tracker applications quit working. The change must have been internal, since the site, does not look different.

Now I looked at my apps from the App Store on my IPOD and all ratings are gone! Thats right, vanished, deleted, gone! Is this a sign of major renovation to the app store is nigh?

Stay tuned! I will post when I find out more.
