Multiple apps stuck in "Waiting for Review" for weeks - possible account-level review hold?
Hello App Review team, I am an individual developer and I appear to be experiencing a systemic, account-level delay rather than a normal queue wait. My current app "Color Grading App - Gradee" (Apple ID 6778543702) has been in "Waiting for Review" since June 10 - about 10 days - and has not yet entered review. This is a recurring pattern on my account: previous apps also stayed in "Waiting for Review" for an unusually long time (weeks to months) before review even began, regardless of the app's content. Because every submission on this account is affected the same way, I am concerned my account may be under a review hold or flag. Could someone please: Confirm whether my Apple Developer account is under any review hold, enhanced review, or flag. Let me know if anything is required from my side to resolve it. I have open support cases (102914638162, 102918134058) but have not yet received a response. I am not trying to flood support - I just want to understand what is happening so I can fix it. There is also time sensitivity: a marketing video for this app has gone viral and many users are actively searching for it right now. Thank you very much for your help.

My Apps Have Been “Waiting for Review” for 1 Month – No Response, No Progress
I’m honestly about to lose my mind at this point. My apps have been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for almost a month, and I still have zero progress, zero response, and zero clarity on what’s going on. Here are the facts: Both of my apps were submitted for review nearly 30 days ago Status: Still “Waiting for Review” with no movement at all I contacted Apple Support multiple times — no useful feedback was provided One of my expedited review requests was approved 4+ days ago, yet the status of the app hasn’t changed whatsoever This situation is extremely frustrating. I’m a developer trying to run a business, and these unexplained delays are causing serious damage to my release timeline, marketing schedule, and user acquisition plans. I genuinely don’t understand why things are stuck for this long. All I’m asking for is basic transparency: Why is the review not starting? Why is the expedite request approved but not reflected in the review queue? Is there a hidden issue blocking my apps that I am not being informed about? I’m not asking for special treatment — just communication and fairness. If there’s a problem, tell me what it is. If the queue is delayed, give us realistic timelines instead of leaving developers completely in the dark for weeks. This is the App Store. Developers depend on timely reviews to run their business. Waiting 30 days with no movement or explanation is simply unreasonable. Any help, guidance, or escalation would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I just want clarity and action. — Furkan Yel

Is Anyone Else Stuck in “Waiting for Review” for 1 Month? This Is Getting Ridiculous.
I’m genuinely on the edge of losing my sanity right now. My apps have been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for almost a MONTH, yes, 30 days and absolutely nothing is happening. At this point, I’m not even sure if my apps are in a review queue or a black hole. Here’s my situation: 2 apps submitted, both still “Waiting for Review” 30 days of zero movement Contacted support multiple times, replies that lead nowhere Expedited Review request APPROVED 4+ days ago… and guess what? Still no movement. Not even a “Hi, we’re looking at it.” I feel like I’m talking to a wall. This is starting to feel like a glitch in the Matrix. This is seriously impacting my launch, marketing, business timeline and user acquisition strategy. I love Apple, I love the platform, but this silence and lack of transparency is painful for developers. What we need is very simple: A realistic timeline 1 week? 2 weeks? A month? If expedited review is approved, why is nothing happening? If there’s an issue, just tell me so I can fix it instead of sitting here for 30 days staring at “Waiting for Review” I know I’m not the only one dealing with this, I’ve seen others posting similar issues lately. So if you’re also trapped in the “Waiting for Review Purgatory”, please comment or react so Apple sees this. The App Store review process is crucial to our business. Waiting this long with no updates, no communication, and no progress is just not sustainable. Would truly appreciate if someone from the App Review Team could shed some light, escalate this, or at least acknowledge the situation. Thanks to anyone who reads this, and good luck to my fellow devs stuck in review limbo.
