My app Pac-Man under review for 6 days (almost a week)

My app Pac-Man was out free for some time, and I wanted to turn it into a paid version. As the store is not updating, I changed my mind and edited the submission to turn it free again, bare in mind the app was still pending under review. It says the review could take up to 3 days, mine is still not reviewed.

I know there is an issue so please let me know what is wrong, and if it can be fixed soon. I'm missing out on a lot of downloads!

    It's not about everyone who disagrees with me — your comment just makes absolutely no sense.

    There's no way to create a genuinely high-quality design in a single day. So anyone who actually puts effort into creating quality watch faces has no reason to be worried about a limit of two uploads per week.

    That's roughly how long it takes to create two quality watch faces anyway. The only people who should be worried about such a limit are those mass-producing low-effort trash.

    I have to disagree with you there. The watch faces are actually pretty cool—though I suppose it’s a matter of personal taste. Fair enough, though.

    What do you consider "good," then? Could you provide an example? Maybe some of your own work?

    I guess you don't really understand what AI trash means. You can use AI to write 100% of the code, and that still wouldn't make the result AI trash.

    For example, take a look at Apps by GreenPoint | Connect IQ Store

    I'd say around 50% of those watch faces are AI trash — a pixel moved here, a pixel moved there, slight color adjustments, different images slapped onto basically the same watch face. All of those variations could easily be included in a single watch face with customizable settings.

    So instead of having almost 1,000 watch faces, the developer could probably fit all those designs into 100 at most.

    That's what I call AI trash — mass-producing nearly identical watch faces with tiny cosmetic changes just to flood the store.

    I use AI to create apps too, it would be stupid not to use it at your advantage, but one thing is creating something with time and testing, and really taking care and getting it the best it can be. Spending time thinking on ideas, designing etc. But store is saturated with people who make *** with one click.

    The ranking systems should not favour this type of creation, and somehow an app with 1+ downloads has been on the Top Paid apps for longer than other which are making more sales and are not a heap of ***

    Well, of course—everyone who disagrees with you is just uploading trash )))

    How many junk apps were there in the store before AI came along? I’ve been using Garmin for over 6 years, and there’s always been a ton of garbage on there. I don’t know—did people actually build all that by hand, and did it take them a long time?
