Google Play app reviews reportedly exceed a week, developer says
Daniel Gultsch has described reported delays in Google Play’s app review process as unacceptable and urged Google to prioritise long-established Android apps.
Google Play app reviews are regularly taking more than a week, according to Daniel Gultsch, who described the reported delays as unacceptable in a social-media post published on 16 September.
Gultsch urged Google to prioritise Android apps that have existed for more than 12 years and release updates monthly.
He attributed the alleged backlog to an influx of low-quality, AI-generated apps. That explanation is Gultsch’s characterisation and has not been independently established.
The claim was reported through Hacker News and is based on a single social-media post. The available source material does not indicate whether Google has acknowledged the issue.
It is also unclear how many apps are affected or what the average review time is. Gultsch’s comments do not establish that all Google Play reviews are taking longer than a week.
