App Review Stuck in “In Review” for 5 Days – No Review Decision

Hi everyone,

I submitted my app for App Review on August 14, 2026, at 2:39 PM. I later submitted an updated version again on September 9, 2026.

The latest submission has been showing “In Review” for the past 5 days, but I still haven’t received any review decision or additional information from the App Review team.

As I understand it, once an app enters the “In Review” status, a review decision is generally provided after the review is completed. However, in my case, the status has remained unchanged for several days.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation recently? Is it normal for an app to remain in “In Review” for this long, or is there anything I should do from my side?

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Mine has been in "in review" status since 2026.9.9 , until today.

Mine was in review, then got denied for spam, but it isn't. Appealed it, still waiting 14 days later...

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in a similar situation. My app entered “In Review” on September 29, 2026, and it’s still unchanged as of today (about 10 days). Before that, it was also stuck in “Waiting for Review” for a while.

Just wondering if anyone here eventually received a decision?

@FelixDaemmrich — did App ID 6747684577 get approved or rejected, and roughly how long did it take after Sep 12? @dassio — any update on your submission since Sep 9? @martsb — any update on your spam appeal?

Any update would be really helpful. Thanks!

Are you still in review? What did you do? I'm two weeks now in review, nobody reply any of the email I sent to support... I don't know what to do. Android approved my app in just 4 days... I need to launch both at the same time...

Seems to be theme. I'm at day 9 of 'Waiting for review.' Have received emails saying that it has been received and there's nothing for me to do. I've requested escalating the issue as this is delaying a cross-platform release... no response in days.

I'm also experiencing issues with my macOS app being stuck "In Review." I'm not sure how long it would remain in this status if I hadn't canceled it.

It takes so long that I managed to prepare a new version in the meantime, but now I've uploaded the final changes, and the app has been "In Review" since yesterday. We'll see how long it is going to stay in this status...

During all those "In Review" periods, I noticed in the analytics that no one has opened the app, so its status changes, but there is no one there actually reviewing it...

Same here. Our app (first release, with in-app purchases) has been in "Waiting for Review" since 5 October, so a week now, with nothing in Resolution Center.

I'll post an update here once I hear back or the status changes.

I've even been stuck in "waiting for review" status for six days now.

Come on, guys, this isn't something to be proud of; the fact that it has already been over seven days feels wrong.
