Hey guys, quick question

My game Astral Drop — Merge Puzzle (App ID 6792792341) has had a few updates approved before, usually within a day or two.

Version 1.3 has been stuck this time though. I submitted it on Aug 20, it only moved to “In Review” on Aug 27, and it’s still there as of today.

No messages in the Resolution Center, no rejection, nothing unusual in the update either.

Is anyone else seeing really long review times lately? Also, is it worth contacting App Review at this point, or does that not really help?

If someone from the App Review team sees this, I’d appreciate a look.

Thanks!

This has been an ongoing issue with me too. I am pushing bug fix updates and currently at 7 days with no movement. My last update I had to run up the ladder because it was 14 days with nothing.

It's just sitting there "waiting for review."

Certainly all the people who complain about it on this forum. The people who aren't complaining may not be experiencing any problem.

Also, is it worth contacting App Review at this point, or does that not really help?

What you describe so far is well within the normal review times across the entire existence of the App Store. In today's world of AI-driven delays, it's very good.
