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.
