Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
A list with app review sites that is helping a lot of developers to get exposure of their apps.
A short introduction - I'm a RoR and iOS dev and I had recently 2 apps published to the app store (MobiPart for Octopart & TimeAssistant). Along the way of making any sales I faced two problems: 1) Having a promo/landing page/site of my apps. 2) Promoting my apps and giving them exposure.
(1) lead me to building a whole service which solves that problem - Apptlantis which I may present in details some other time.
On the other hand I did a deep research on ways people recommend for promoting apps. One of the top suggestions is submitting your app to app review sites. I would agree with that. Having you app reviewed helps both with greater exposure and with its SEO. That's why I decided to set-up a list with all the popular (and not so popular) sites where, we developers, can submit our apps for review.
You can find the list with App Review Sites here. I've tried to organize the list in the most helpful way but if you have any ideas how to enhance it - you are welcome to give an advice. Moreover I'll continue to add sites which do app reviews. Also, I would be very happy if you suggest sites that are missing in the list. Thank you!
This is a great list. And getting out there really is one of the biggest obstacles to smaller and indie devs and studios. And not to blow our own trumpet (though will do:)) devs can list their apps for free on appromoter. There's no cost to list your media assets (screen shots, press release, app description, video, promo codes) and we're used by 500-600 journalists for their reviews. Not exclusively but they all come to the site and look for apps to review. Would be nice to make it onto your list.
Awesome site and highly recommended. I love how it shows what type of site it is and it doesn't go too far. It shows only a handful of sites that will really help your app get exposure. Great list! This list is a lot more extensive but isn't as user-friendly: http://maniacdev.com/2012/05/ios-app-review-sites/
Don't forget Gnome Escape. They sometimes review top applications on their homepage and it is worth reaching out. They are growing fast and have lots of visitors. For those looking for user reviews, Gnome Escape can also help you drive downloads, impressions and authentic user reviews for your application.

Thanks a lot to all of you for the good words! I'm really happy that you've appreciated our list.
I am writing again to share that we've extended our list recently. It includes 152 App Review Sites now. And you can submit your iOS apps up to 136 sites now.
@MGS we haven't received such feedback yet. If you have any I think everybody would be happy if you share it. Thanks!
@raymng I don't think it could be fully automated. However we are working on supplying a related service. So, soon, you will be able to save lots of time by letting us do the promotion of your apps for you.
Thanks Stan for including us. @MGS we receive 30+ review submissions a day and select 2-3 for a review on our site. We don't charge and have done quite a few apps from members here as it is.

Good work Stan, it would be great if you can keep the maintenance of this list regurlarly ! Could you consider adding ReviewForDev to the list? Its alexa ranking is around 140 000. I had a quick look and since iFanzine's Alexa score is around 194 000 it could go just before it :-)
