App stuck in review for a week+

Hi all... I have an update to an app that has been stuck "In Review" for nearly 7 days now. No feedback, nothing. Just waiting. I had just updated this app in early August and it got through the review process in less than 24 hours.


The app only has minor bug fixes in it.


Anyone else seeing long review times right now? Or am I alone in this?

I submit my app review since 22/01/2019 till now 29/01/2019 my app still in Review status.

I email them, but no reply.

Anybody know why quiet?

Are they on holiday?

Any updates?


I have the same issue 😟

Hi James, It’s exactly the same for me. I requested an expedited Review an told them its a critical fix. Now they are reviewing the app since about 5 days. A manager told me that they still have to do checks. It never took longer than 2 days before

I am having this same issue in 2020 ! Our app is stuck “In Review” for 7 days now.

waiting for review: 7 days

in review: 2 days

i don’t know how long it will take. I think new app submission experience screwed up all the review process :)

Waiting for review 8 days (new app). Resubmitted, but didn't help.

I've been in review & rejected for 3+ months now, since December 15th 2021.

We replied to their questions, but no feedback afterwards.

I have the same issue in 2022. Sounds like a poem, eh? The app has been "In Review" status since March 2, 2022. The app store support service did not much help. All you can get is what you are already known about: your app is "In Review". But, wait a minute... Please feel free to reply if you have any other questions!

Same here. My app is in TestFlight Review since Saturday.

my new app was rejected several times with feedback. I did all requested changes. After one more attempt app stuck "In Review" and nothing happens. Support response gives nothing useful: "The review for your app is still in progress and requires additional time. We'll provide further status updates as soon as we can, or we'll contact you if we require additional information."

Still stuck in "In Review" status in late 2024 for over an week.

It's a new app submitted to visionOS app store. The first submission was rejected because they need me to upload a video walkthrough to demonstrate the app.

I submitted the video and then the app went into the "In Review" status ever since.

I didn't see any trace of the reviewer opened the app according to my backend logs. Tried to contact customer service several times, but got the same copy-paste reply everyone has mentioned above.

This situation happened before to my other app's update patch. It took them 10+ days to finish the "In Review" status. And that happed in August 2024. While this app review took place during the U.S. Thanksgiving holidays.

So my assumption is, when your app reviewer is on holiday, your app will be stuck in the "In Review" status until they actually come back from holiday and do the job.

The "In Review" status doesn't mean your app is actually being reviewed, but only means the review task has been assigned to someone. They couldn't care less about your releasing plans or how urgent it is.

Paying £99 a year to get such service, SHAME ON YOU APPLE!
