Dear App Review Team,

We have been waiting for our new app to be approved since October 8, 2026.

  • Apple ID: 6805885035
  • Version: 1.0.0 (build 52)
  • October 7: first submission
  • October 8: returned for a missing Terms of Use link. We fixed it and resubmitted the same day with build 52
  • October 15: current submission, still in "Waiting for Review"
  • Expedited review: requested, no response yet

Our Android version has been live on Google Play since October 10, and our iPhone users keep asking us when the iOS version will be available. They are waiting for it.

Could someone please take a look at the status? Thank you very much for your help.

Update (October 23): Apple Developer Support replied to our inquiry . The app is still "Waiting for Review". They explained that rejecting and resubmitting a binary restarts the review timeframe, so we are leaving the current submission untouched and waiting. We'll post here once it is reviewed, in case it helps others in the same situation.

Since October 14th, my app has been in "Waiting for Review". Meanwhile, on Google Play.

It seems that many developers are experiencing the same issue. If anyone has any updates or news, please share them here so we can all stay informed. I'll also post daily updates on my app's review status. Hopefully, we can help each other through this situation!
