Hi. I can see in logs that they have tested with 3 different Shopify review stores for about an hour each, but then it can take 3-4 days before they test again - it feels very ineffective. It’s now been over 2 weeks now. Does it usually take this long?

Understandable. It’s just frustrating to see that they have started to review it, but it stops for 2-3 days before they continue to review it.

I’ve got a BFS review currently happening for one of my apps, and I’m seeing the same thing. As I understand it, they just have a few layers of automated and manual reviews! Good luck with your review :slight_smile:

Hi @Xhale_group , two weeks is within what other devs are reporting right now, so it’s not unusual, but the multi-day gaps usually mean the reviewer is waiting on something.

Hi! Thanks for the update. I haven’t received any emails or questions by the reviewers yet. We had some issues with the billing but I can see that the reviewers has successfully passed it, so I am not sure why it take so long now. I guess I just have to wait and see…

I guess two weeks is not too bad when few months ago people could wait for over two months

We started the review in May and had to wait 2 months for the first review, but we had to fix some things, so we waited to resubmit until we were 100% ready. It didn’t take more than 1-2 days to get a reviewer, but since we got someone to review the app, it has been going super slow.

Hi @Xhale_group Two weeks with multi-day gaps is common right now, but the gaps usually aren’t random. Check your app’s status in the Partner Dashboard and read the review notes closely. A few days of silence often means the submission is queued for a second reviewer, or that Shopify is waiting on …

It’s “Submitted” “We’re reviewing your submission—check your email for updates” - but I haven’t received any emails, so I guess I just have to keep waiting.

if it took alot of more time just simple withdraw the app and submit it again.
