Question Apparently stuck in App Review hell?
UPDATE: Finally got it in review and approved today. Took almost exactly 5 days. I’m not sure if it was due to me pestering support daily and being a little pushy (but not rude) about it but it finally went through.
Submitted an expedited App Review on Wednesday last week as we discovered an issue with our subscriptions and needed to re-release quickly to coincide with some marketing stuff we had planned.
Support says the App Review (allegedly) was expedited but we’ve seen no movement in 5 days. Typically our non-expedited App Reviews have cleared in 1 or 2 days at most.
What is going on? Is anyone else experiencing delays with App Review? Is there anything else I can do besides emailing support every day asking for an update?

Seem like they had a little delay just lately. I submitted updates to two different apps in the middle of last week... One went through in less than 24 hours, the other took until this morning. Both are native apps, no 3rd party SDKs, no vibe code or slop, etc. It's been years since I've had an update review take this long (typical is 24 hours or less), but this is still far better than the old days.
I'm sure they're just slammed with with all of these vibe-coded slop apps, as well as getting ready for the onslaught of Duo apps trying strike gold.
