I have submitted our facebook app for App center review, but it has been in pending status for 10 days, according to facebook App center guideline http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appcenter/guidelines/ "Once it has enough positive ratings and engagement, we will automatically review your app detail page and contact you if any changes are needed before it appears in a category."

Could anyone please tell me after a facebook app submitted for review, how to get enough positive ratings and engagement? What is exact rating/engagement amount? Where can I see the progress? Any facebook app center contact email?

Any help is appreciated.

Not to disappoint you, but we had our app being reviewed for 4 months and 11 days before our patience ran out. We had 50K users and 400 5* ratings out of 450 total ratings. It is insane how irresponsible FB is regarding reviewing content. We resubmitted the app for review and it took several days before the app was live in App Center.

Positive ratings is when users that installed your app rate it from 1 to 5 stars. Engagement is basically how many users installed your app in total and how many did not remove it within short period of time (the more the better). There is no exact amount, but for example 10K new installs in first week is better than 10K installs in first year, yet the number is the same. Same goes for the progress bar - Facebook has its internal metrics. Good luck with review.
