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

How about limiting the number of new releases an account can submit per day?

For me, it takes about a week to perfect a single, unique watch face design, while others are pushing out 2+ watch faces almost every day, with barely any differences between them - sometimes just a few pixels here and there.

I'm starting to wonder if it's better to just flood the store with low-effort designs every day instead of spending time creating something unique and high-quality.

After all, what's the point of putting so much effort into a design if nobody even gets to see it? The sorting system is broken because new releases are mixed together with updates to existing watch faces. As a result, genuinely new designs quickly get buried under a flood of submissions and updates.

This system seems to reward quantity over quality, which is incredibly frustrating for developers who actually put time and effort into their work.

This is not due to a bug—we have gotten an enormous influx of app submissions in the last month, with no signs of slowing down, and are working through approvals as quickly as we can. This was never a problem in the past, except perhaps delays because of a long holiday weekend (e.g. Christmas).

Yea, things take too long to get fixed, a lot of people loosing money cause of it and yea.

Thats kinda cool not gonna lie. They seem like they need some more people working

There used to be a yearly CIQ developer summit, and there I met the entire Garmin CIQ team.  At the time, there were less than 20 people.
