I’ve submitted an app for review on Jan 21 and it’s still “We’re assigning reviewer” status. Would be great to have that listing editable during that phase, as a valuable time is practically wasted and could result into more polished listing look.

Hi @radioact Fully see the benefit of being able to make changes while in assigning reviewer phase - ideally that phase should be so short that no additional listing page adjustments would be needed, which is the state we’re working towards. Digging into this restriction though to see what the best…

Hey @radioact , have your app been approved?

Hey, yes it took about 2 weeks for the first amendment request, after it was fixed it took 1 day to get approved. So once reviewer assigned it’s a streamlined process.

Suggestion: Allow to edit submitted new app listing while on "assigning reviewer" status
