Hello Apple Developer Community,

My first iOS app, PitCaptain, has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since October 7, 2026.

  • App: PitCaptain
  • Version: iOS 1.0.0 (build 10)

Submission date: October 7, 2026

  • Current status: Waiting for Review
  • Expedited review: Requested
  • Contacted Apple Support: Yes

The app has not moved to “In Review”, and I have not received any feedback or requests for additional information.

PitCaptain helps endurance racing teams plan driver changes, driving stints, refuelling windows and driver-change alarms.

I understand that review times can vary, but nine days without any status change is concerning, especially after requesting an expedited review.

Could someone from App Review please check whether the submission is progressing normally or whether it may be stuck in the review queue?

Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I developed this app specifically for endurance karting and need it for my own participation in the Dutch Racing Series (DRS) endurance season. Having the app available in time is important for preparing and managing our race strategy.

Same with me man my submission date was oct 7th as well, I’ve been waiting so long to deliver my app to customers. It sucks, I wish Apple would do something. It’s been 3 days since I’ve requested an expedited review to no avail as well.

Our app has also been in Waiting for Review since early October, even after the expedited review was approved. Hoping App Review can look into these delays.
