App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 17+ days first submission, hardware companion app

Hello App Review Team,

My team's first app submission has been in "Waiting for Review" status for 17 days with no movement, and I would appreciate any visibility you can provide on its current state.

Submission details:

  • App name: Motor İzleme
  • Submission ID: fb2151a2-969e-458b-b57b-9fc7a982e168
  • Submitted: May 20, 2026 at 10:24 PM
  • Version: 1.0 (build 2)
  • Current status: Waiting for Review (17 days)
  • Account type: Organization (first submission under this account)

About the app: Motor İzleme is a hardware companion app that communicates with our physical device over Bluetooth Low Energy. Because reviewers cannot physically test the device without the hardware, we have provided the following materials with the submission to support the review:

  • A demonstration video showing the full app-to-hardware interaction (linked in App Review Notes)
  • Detailed App Review Notes explaining the BLE communication flow
  • App screenshots covering all primary screens
  • Clear handling of the no-device state (the app does not crash or hang — it shows appropriate prompts when Bluetooth is off or no device is found)

I want to be transparent: I am not requesting expedited review and I understand the team is operating under heavy submission volume in 2026. I am simply asking whether this submission may have been overlooked, or whether there is anything additional I can provide to help the review proceed.

This launch is tied to a commitment with our business partner, and the extended delay is beginning to impact business obligations on our end. Any update would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards, Saadettin Yıldırım

Seems like everyone is affected by delayed reviews, maybe try submitting an expedited review request. I doubt it would help but worth a try also mention your situation in the notes for review if possible.

Update: It has now been 31 days since submission (May 20, 2026), and the status remains "Waiting for Review" with no movement and no official response on this thread.

Could anyone from the App Review team please check whether this submission has been overlooked? At this point I am concerned that it may have fallen out of the active queue. Any visibility would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
