“Waiting for Review” taking weeks recently? Our build has been stuck since Feb 14

Hello everyone,

I wanted to check whether other developers have recently experienced unusually long “Waiting for Review” times.

Our current submission timeline looks like this:

Timeline

Feb 14, 2026 – Initial build submitted

Feb 14 – Present – Status has remained “Waiting for Review” (never entered “In Review”)

Feb 18–19 – Contacted App Review support

Feb 24 – Received reply that the case was escalated / expedited

Feb 26 – Mar 9 – Continued communication with support; each time they confirmed the app is still in the queue and that they contacted the review team

Mar 12 – Still Waiting for Review

So as of now, the build has been waiting for review for nearly four weeks without ever entering active review.

I’m trying to understand whether this is an isolated case or if others are seeing similar delays recently.

Questions:

Has anyone else experienced multi-week “Waiting for Review” delays recently?

If you had a similar situation, did you eventually receive any explanation from the review team?

Any recent data points on review times would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
