An app should not be taken down automatically if it is already live and do not pass this test. It may not be precise or fair enough to take a so severe measure.
It should send me an email, and if the problem continues after 24 hours, it should take the app down. The goal, which I think is to maintain only good apps online, will still be achieved, because the really broken apps will be broken for more than a day. But a healthy one can be broken for just one hour. Yesterday I got an email from AppReviewer, it could not load the app because my AppEngine server was running out of quota. That's fine because it was my fault. But frequently AppEngine, or any other hosting service, has a problem, goes down and stops completely. In that case, I will lost a lot of time and money waiting for a new approval. ~Thiago On Feb 16, 3:56 pm, "Bruno Oliveira (\"btco\")" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > We've been working a lot on AppReviewer lately and today we brought it up > for live testing.
