Hello App Review team and fellow developers,
I'm a solo developer in Korea, and Duedrop is the first app I've ever submitted. It has now been more than two weeks (16 days) since my first submission, and I haven't been able to get any response through the usual channels. I'd be very grateful for any help or advice.
Here is the timeline:
- October 28: Submitted Duedrop version 1.0 for review.
- October 29: Received an information request from App Review and replied the same day with the requested details.
- October 30 – November 9: The status stayed "In Review" for about 10 days with no further messages.
- During that time, I submitted one expedite request and two status inquiries through the Contact Us form, but did not receive any reply.
- November 9: Since there was no progress, I removed version 1.0 from review and submitted version 1.0.1 (build 13).
- November 9 – today: Version 1.0.1 has been "Waiting for Review" for four days.
Meanwhile, two other apps from the same developer account, submitted on November 11 and 12, have already been reviewed and approved. Because of this, I'm worried that Duedrop's submission may be stuck or held for a reason I'm not aware of.
About the app, in case it helps:
- Duedrop is a calendar app that also lets users keep track of their own subscription payment dates and monthly spending.
- It does not process any payments, connect to bank accounts, or require an account. All data stays on the user's iPhone, and in their own iCloud only if they turn on sync.
- Service icons are loaded from each service's public website icon and are not bundled in the app. Prices shown when adding a subscription are labeled as examples, and users can edit them freely.
- In-app purchases are a one-time premium unlock and optional tips that do not unlock any features.
If anything is missing or needs to be changed, I would be happy to fix it right away. I would truly appreciate it if someone could check the status of this submission.
Thank you very much for your time.
