Hello App Review team,
Our app, Detox: Digital Detox, has been live on the App Store for over three years. Until August, our updates usually cleared review within a day or two.
Since August, every update has waited about 3 weeks in “Waiting for Review” before being reviewed, even with full review notes and demo access.
Current submission
App ID: 6450723324
Version: 5.0.0
Submitted: Saturday, 31 October 2026
Status: Waiting for Review
Support case: 30000004708883
This submission has been waiting for 4 days so far. That is not unusual on its own, but it matches the start of the pattern we’ve seen on every update since August, so we wanted to raise it now rather than wait another three weeks.
We met with App Review last week and were told there are long wait times right now. However, Apple has said that updates to existing apps are being reviewed first and average about 14 hours, so our pattern looks like more than the general queue.
Could you check whether anything on our account or app is affecting review timing, and let us know if there’s anything we need to do on our side? More details are in the support case above.
Thank you for your help.
