I understand that they/you are probably being flooded by a lot of AI slop apps or other excuses, but submitting an app 3 weeks ago and it being stuck in Waiting for Review (not first app live on app store either) is beyond a joke. Lodge a support request (not expedited review request) and to get back a generic you will be notified when it changes to In review is not the sort of support help you would expect either.

This sort of delay impacts businesses (time and money) and needs to be fixed by either putting more reviewers on - OR better still move more towards the Automated review process Google uses. meantime it still sits there in waiting for review.

So whats worse now, is submitted an update on one of our other apps, yesterday and it has been approved and live now - whilst the other app is still waiting for review for 4 weeks now. What is going on ?

This is exactly what’s happening to me. I eventually just gave up.

Apple, if the App Review team is overloaded with the flood of new AI-generated apps, at least give long-standing, established apps some priority or a faster review process. Waiting weeks for a routine update is extremely frustrating.

@Fares, if that can be implemented, that's a good idea. You should submit as suggestion in Feedback.

On my side, I think I'm lucky (hope it will last). My last 20 or more submissions were all processed in less than 12 hours.
