Apps "In Review" for long time

I used to submit games and they were reviewed within a week's time till mid-2018 but since September, my games keep going to "In Review" status and stay in that status for ever.


I did try to cancel the submission and re-submit it, but every time, it goes to "In Review" within 24 hours and stays in same status for weeks. Its been at-least a month for 1 of my app and almost 3 weeks for another.


App Id's : 1437438165 , 1435726513


Any one else also facing similar issues?

Hi @Andreas@AppReview, I am facing the same problem. I uploaded 2 apps and i got rejected. Then after resolving the issues mentioned by the reviewer, I uploaded another new version on Mar 17. Then I tried to change the build number and again uploaded, but no luck. It still in Waiting for review in 14 days.

I tried to contact the App Review 3 times by submitting the details, but every time got an automated response from their side. How can we contact the App Review team to resolve this.

Does anyone has got any resolution? Please help.

Note: I went to set the publishing of my game to manual, which makes the problem being from being stuck in "processing for distribution" instead of "in review". I've had this issue a couple months ago, but I managed to get across this problem. I went to contact Apple to inform them about the issue I was going through and they fixed it in two weeks. Hope this helps!

Hello @Andreas @AppReview, our app (ID: 6503051862) has been stuck in review for over 1 month. Could you please assist in reminding the review team?

Hi @Andreas@AppReview,

I'm experiencing an issue with my app submission (Submission ID: 9a01e4a4-80d6-47e1-a685-bc113b4aab0a). After initially addressing the reviewer’s feedback and making the required updates, I submitted on Oct 22, 2024. but the app has remained in "In Review" status for weeks.

I have contacted the App Review team with submission details, but each time, I received only an automated response. Is there any way to connect directly with the review team to resolve this?

Has anyone else encountered this, or found a solution? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

It is really a bad experience when the app goes into long time "In Review", as we could never know what happened on earth. I just make my app "ROM Emulator" better than previous version, while it is stuck in review for days now, it makes me a little frustrating as it seems to tell me "do not update your app?" However, if we have found some issues or we find that we could make the app better, we really want to take it to users in time, so that we can make sure the user get the best experience. You know, apple guidelines have allowed emulators, I really do not know what makes the app "In review" so long time!

I think the apple reviewer is just so busy, though 3 days is very little possibility to happen, the holidays does affect the review process. Good news, my app has been approved!
