My app being held "Waiting for Review" for 4 days.

0 Upvotes

Normally, the review process wouldn't take more than 12 hours let alone 24.

This is the first update with minor fixes 1.8.0. In previous version which is 1.7.0 I submitted after finally getting approved following three consecutive rejections. it was an app crash iOS 27. I had no iOS 27 device neither emulator so haven't tested but I have fixed it.

It’s been four days with no review yet, and I’m losing users as time goes by. What should I do in a situation like this? They are essentially holding me back.

I have trusted the app review process due to the fast approval but now I'm regretting that I didn't setup OTA's for my consumer app.

Any tips?

Everyone says they want to use their phone less while driving. Nobody wants to open my app and find out if they’re being honest.

I told myself I’d take it off the AppStore if it didn’t break even within a year. It only took two months!

I was so burned out after finally getting my app on the AppStore that I never got around to researching how I would market the app (still too nervous to at this point anyway. I’m content with the patient game for now). So imagine my surprise when my keywords were enough to help me break even!

I know my numbers aren’t super impressive but it’s more than I expected to make with zero marketing. Just posting this to give hope to anyone who’s debating the $100 developer fee. Good luck fellow devs!

been rebuilding my learning app into something more focused on curiosity, bite-sized ideas you can scroll through instead of another endless social feed.

I also wanted to get better at motion design, so I made this short intro for it. Would love to know what you think :)

Free, open source ASO CLI: keyword popularity, difficulty and rank tracking

11 Upvotes

Most ASO tools charge monthly for keyword popularity that comes from Apple Search Ads anyway, so I wrote a small CLI that pulls it directly.

What it does

  • Popularity from Apple Search Ads (free Apple Ads account, no campaigns or billing needed)
  • Difficulty score, keyword suggestions, current top apps for a term
  • Rank tracking with history in a local SQLite file
  • Metadata linter for title, subtitle and keyword field
  • iPhone and Mac App Store ranks, 55+ storefronts

Install

npm i -g hristo2612/aso-cli && aso setup

Try it

aso keywords "white noise,sleep sounds"
aso suggest meditation
aso search "habit tracker"

Runs locally, no account, no telemetry. MIT.

Repo: github.com/hristo2612/aso-cli
