Hi,

I submitted my iOS app for review on Wednesday, March 4th (around 4 PM UTC+8), and it has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 7 business days with no progress.

I have already submitted an Expedited Review request 2 days ago, but the status remains unchanged.

I understand review times can vary, but this extended wait with no movement or communication is making it difficult to plan our launch timeline.

Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Is there anything else I can do at this point?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Our app Apple ID is: 1505684382

This version includes a new VIP subscription plan (weekly 300/499 pricing test) that is critical to our revenue optimization. The extended delay is directly impacting our ability to run this pricing experiment and is affecting our business revenue. We kindly request your assistance to prioritize this review.

@App Review Following up on your response from 2 days ago.

Our app (Apple ID: 1505684382) has now been in "Waiting for Review" for 16 days — submitted March 4th. Despite your message that you would contact us via App Store Connect, we have received no communication there.

To summarize what we have tried:

2x Expedited Review requests — no response
2x Support cases via Contact Us — no response
This forum post — your team replied but no follow-through yet

We have exhausted every available channel. Our app includes a time-sensitive subscription pricing test, and every day of delay is causing measurable revenue loss.

We respectfully ask for a concrete answer: What is preventing our app from entering review, and when will it be reviewed? Thank you.
