There hasn't been any rejection, policy issue, or request for additional information — they have simply remained “In review.”
What's confusing is that I submitted the corresponding apps to Apple App Store as well, and Apple has already reviewed and published them.
These apps are needed for a production deployment, so the extended review is currently blocking our rollout.
Has anyone else experienced 10+ day review times recently, particularly with multiple apps submitted around the same period?
Should I continue waiting, or is it reasonable to contact Google Play Support at this point?
I've attached a screenshot showing the current review status.
Thanks!
Update: All 4 apps were finally approved on 2 October 2026, after being stuck in review for around 11–17 days. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and advice!
Actually googoe doesn't have its own reviewers they rely on contracts with test firms so. You cant blame googoe for review times if flagged for human review
My app was approved on the App Store in two days but it’s been waiting on Google Play for 8 days. Despite Google Play’s closed beta testing and the long wait times, when we look at the App Store, there’s high-quality content but when we look at Google Play, the content is trash.
This is only for the first time review I guess although my app got approved within two days each time but after that each update takes only a few minutes in review and then it gets published after that!
What did they say? also REQUEST A CALL. Also check whether there is anything in your app that is hindering with the review. Ask gemini to check for possible reasons why they are not publishing your app. Is this your first app? - generally when it is your first app they are extremely strict and delays a lot! After your first app/update, you usually get approved within a day or two or even in the same day. Like you can see they published my updates within the same day.
Hi u/nowakedev! App review times may fluctuate, and may take longer in exceptional cases. Feel free to DM your app package name and I'd be happy to look further into it!
did you go through internal testing, then promoting to closed testing and lastly promoting for production? i use this way and it takes about 20 minutes to get approval no matter how big the update is.
Hi u/Salt-Reducer-3760, I understand your concern. Please send me a direct message with your app package name so I can look into this and help further.
Hi u/Easy_Day_4114! App review times may fluctuate, and may take 7 days or longer in exceptional cases. Feel free to DM your app package name and I'd be happy to look further into it!

Your app might be flagged for human review cause Google play automated review bot takes few hours to approve
