How do I register?
You don't have to register. Just click the LOG IN button on the main site and connect with your Facebook account. That's it! You are good to go.

Do I need an US store account to use the site?
No! You can use your regular Appstore account, no matter in what country you are. You DON'T need an US account anymore!

Why do I have to log in with Facebook?
Everybody has a Facebook account and it makes things simpler. You also have to write your reviews on Facebook and you can't do that without being logged in.

Why do I have to like the site on Facebook?
Otherwise you can't write reviews for the apps. Facebook allows to comment something on a Facebook site only, if you previously "liked" the site.

Why does the site post messages on my Facebook Wall?
The site will post a message about the app on your Facebook wall, which you just downloaded for free using Promo Dispenser, so you can tell your friends about it without doing anything manually. Maybe some of them also want to try the app or even Promo Dispenser.

Why do I have to review the apps?
Because the apps are coming from independent developers, who are depending extremely on reviews and feedback. It is a small price to "pay" for the opportunity to get paid apps for free. If they get reviews, they will give you more apps for free.

How / where do I review an app?
Just go to the app's info site on Promo Dispenser by clicking the app's icon on the main site and write your review into the big white text field. It will be posted automatically on Facebook.

Additionally you can review the app on iTunes as well. It is highly appreciated.
Attention: you can review promo codes on iTunes ONLY, if you redeemed the code on your PC! If you redeemed it on an iDevice, you can't review it!

Why the reviews appear on Facebook and not on iTunes now?
Apple changed its policy regarding promo codes, therefor it is not possible anymore to rate or write reviews to apps, which were downloaded by promo codes. To be able to give feedback to developers anyway, you can do it on Facebook now.

Do I have to go to Facebook to write a rewiev?
NO! Just go to the downloaded app's info site on Promo Dispenser (click the title of the app on the main site) and write your review into the white box.

What happens if I delete a post on my Facebook wall?
Your comment will be deleted too and you can't take new codes. If you delete or disable posts, you CAN'T use Promo Dispenser anymore!

What should I do, if I deleted a post and can't take another code?
Go to the Promo Dispenser Facebook site, scroll to the app in question and comment it again, then go to your account page on Promo Dispenser and validate your review by clicking the red speech bubble.

Where is the Facebook site for Promo Dispenser? Do I have to go there?
The site is HERE, but NO! you don't have to go there, unless you want to.

Where is my Promo Code / How do I get an app from the site?
If you click the "Get App with Promo Code" button, iTunes/Appstore starts and your code will be redeemed automatically. If you click the "Done" button in iTunes, the app will be downloaded to your device/PC. Your code has been mailed to your registered E-mail account too. If you didn't get the E-mail, look into your spam folder. You can find your code on your account page next to the app title as well.

Do I have to redeem my code manually on iTunes?
No. Read the previous Q&A.

I clicked the "Get App with Promo Code" button, but an error occured / nothing happened. What's up?
iTunes has to be installed on the PC, if you want to get an app with a code. You must be logged in to the US store to be able to redeem the code. Check available downloads in the top menu of iTunes -> Store. If you still have problems, contact us!

Why do I get the message, I have to review appX?
You have to review every app on Facebook. If you get this message, you didn't review the app on Facebook.

I reviewed the app on Facebook, Promo Dispenser still says, I have to review it. What's up?
If you reviewed the app directly on Facebook and not through Promo Dispenser, your review has to be validated on Promo Dispenser. The system checks your reviews once a day, if you were logged in within the last 24 hours. Otherwise you have to validate your review manually.

How do I validate my reviews?
Go to your account page and click the red speech bubble next to the app, you reviewed on Facebook. It will check your review and if everything is fine, it will turn green. Now you can get another code. You can also wait for the daily auto update, when the system checks your reviews automatically (if you were logged in within the last 24 hours).

iTunes says, my code is already used. Why?

Because it is probably used by somebody else. Some developers are inpatient and release the same codes on other sites, forums too. If that happens, the code will give you the "already used" message. Just write a comment about it, letting the dev know, that he would have received a review for his code from you, while he probably got nothing from the other sites.

You can also check your iTunes Account, which you can find in the "drop down menu" by clicking your account name in the top right corner of iTunes. Look for your purchase history and make sure, that the app is not there.

If you see the app in the list, your code worked, but iTunes made a mistake. Go to the app's page in iTunes and click the "BUY" button. Maybe it will ask you, if you are sure to buy this item. Click YES. Then it will tell you, that you already purchased this item and you can download it for free. If the app is downloaded, you will see it in your "Applications" menu and you can sync it with your phone.

Attention! It works only on iTunes, not on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod!


iTunes says, my code is invalid/expired. Why? What should I do?
Some times iTunes gives away invalid codes or they expire before our system removes them from the pool (28 days after upload). Write a comment about the code's problem and move on to your next app. You can contact us, if you want to try the same app again. Contact us with your Facebook name.

What are those bubbles on my Account Page?
Every app, you still need to review on Facebook, has a red speech bubble. Every app you already reviewed on Facebook has a green bubble.
If you reviewed an app on Facebook, but the bubble is still red, click it. It will check your review on Facebook and verify your review. Then it will turn green.

What is PromoDispenser?
PromoDispenser is a site, where developers of iPhone/iPad/iPod touch applications can promote their apps by giving away promo codes to our registered users.

What is a promo code?
Every developer receives 50 promo codes per application from Apple being able to promote their apps. They can give them to media representatives, like review sites, blogs etc. People, who own a promo code for an application, may download that app for free from iTunes Appstore to test and review it.

Is PromoDispenser illegal? Is this a Warez site?
No! PromoDispenser is giving away free promo codes provided by Apple and uploaded by the developer of the app.

Do I have to pay for this?
Absolutely not. You don't have to pay ever. Neither as a user nor as a developer. It's absolutely free.

Are there any strings attached? Why is it free?
There are no strings attached. You just have to play by the rules.
It is free, because the site wasn't made for earning money, it's rather a hobby project to do something for the community.

Who can use promo codes?
Promo Codes can be used international in every appstore by everybody.

Why do I need to provide extra info if I am a developer?

My app was deleted, why?
You messed something up, which we couldn't fix or you didn't play by the rules.
We delete apps, which have only used codes in the pool (normally happens, if you post the same codes also on other sites, like TouchArcade, so don't do it!). We might also ban your account.

I uploaded an app, but it doesn't show on the main site. What happened?
You missed something during the upload process.
Javascript must be enabled.
Use Firefox or Safari on your PC or Mac. Other browsers may have problems.
Don't use your iPhone!

Why are the stars for an app white, when there are reviews?
The stars are scraped directly from iTunes (like everything else). The stars will show the exact rating (turn yellow), when there are at least 5 ratings on iTunes. Until then they remain white.

I was banned, why?
Simply: You didn't play by the rules.
