PLEASE correct how you handle iOS updated.

[Yup]

So the app is dead in the water.. has been for over 9 hours now.....

I KNOW that this is NOT Apple's fault for any delay in approval. As a developer you can submit the app for approval with a release date set in the future. So, Navigator games could have submitted an update for approval to Apple on November 19th, with a scheduled release date of November 21.

Is it NOT Apple's fault iOS users can not get into the app at the moment. It's poor planning on the part of Navigator games. And this is a REGULAR OCCURRENCE. This isn't the first time this has happened. Yet Navigator Games CONTINUES to do this. Sure a stupid little disclaimer has been added to announcements claiming "apple users may have to wait longer" -- but the reality is THEY SHOULDN'T have to.. Navigator Games MAKES them wait. You can not tell me Apple lets an app sit in the approval queue for 9+ hours... 2 or 3 maybe.. but 9??? What did you all submit it AFTER a daily deadline????

PLEASE correct this poor planning.

iOS users should be compensated in some manner since clearly Android users are allowed to play. How can PvP ranking be maintained when one is shut out of the app for a full day?????
