Apple is sometimes known to ‘throttle’ reviews if many are submitted at the same time. We are experiencing very high traffic numbers to our podcast at the moment so it may take some time for your review to show. If Apple isn’t letting you leave a review, we recommend trying again in a few hours. We will only accept competition entries that have successfully left a review in iTunes.
