The Problem
iOS developers face unpredictable and often lengthy App Store review times that delay critical updates and releases. The process is opaque, leaving teams with no visibility into why an app is stuck or when it might be approved, causing significant operational anxiety.

Update stuck in App Review since 18 days without any question or feedback
Hey all. I shipped a small iOS app in late March called \*\*SpeakCove\*\* — a document-to-speech reader (PDF, ePub, DOCX, MOBI, FB2, HTML, plain text) with on-device neural voices. Everything runs offline, no accounts, no tracking. Built it because I kept wanting to listen to PDFs on walks and hated that every decent TTS reader was either subscription-locked or phoning home with my documents. [https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/speakcove-text-to-speech/id6760540041](https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/speakcove-text-to-speech/id6760540041) if you're curious. 1.0 shipped fine. Then I submitted \*\*1.1.0 on April 3rd\*\* with voice quality improvements and some UX fixes. It went "In Review" on \*\*April 6th\*\*. Today is April 24th and it's still there. No rejection, no communication, nothing: https://preview.redd.it/cnmoqp4l86xg1.png?width=1275&format=png&auto=webp&s=e692da2494ca1dee714e0dcfeac2534c9411dc16 18 days of radio silence on a minor update feels off, especially when 1.0 went through normally and the app has no server-side component for Apple to even scrutinize. A few questions for anyone who's been here: 1. Has App Review gotten noticeably slower/quieter in the last month or two for anyone else? 2. What's actually worked to get a stuck review moving — formal escalation form, phone support, something else? 3. Is there any signal in the timing itself (e.g. "if it's been 14+ days, it's usually flagged for something specific")? Should I cancel and resubmit? I'm afraid to start at the very beginning of the queue again :(

My app has been in review for over 4.5 hours. Is this normal?
App store review: it's been 7 days already
Is it normal that it takes this long? I had one prior approval. I decided not to launch and keep adding features. This time I'd like to launch. I sent for review and got the usual message that it'll take 24-48h. It's been one week, or 168h! Should I read into this that there's something seriously wrong with my app and I'll be getting a flood of blocking feedback? Or are they overwhelmed by the flood of AI apps and this is everyone's experience? Maybe the fact that it's a non-English app is also making it slower.
