How do I register?
Do I need an US store account to use the site?
I have only a store account for my country, which is not the US, can I use Promo Dispenser?
Can I get an US store account even if I am not a resident of the US?
- Start iTunes.
- Log out from your regular account (if you are logged in) by clicking the account name on the top right corner and then the log out button.
- Change the store in the bottom right corner of the page to US by clicking on the country flag.
- Click the free app to download on the main site as asked in the yellow text at the top of the page (otherwise the "NONE" option won't appear under "payment"!).
- In the login pop up window click the "create new account" button and follow the instructions.
- You have to register a new email address for this account!
- You will need a real US state, city and zip code (find one on the net).
- For payment option choose "NONE" (appears only, if you download a free app or redeem a promo code!).
- Finish the process.
Why do you need my Appstore Nickname?
Where/how do I add/register my Appstore Nickname?
Why do I have to download and review that free app linked in the yellow text on the top of the main page?
Why do you need my Appstore User ID?
What is my Appstore User ID?
It is a chain of numbers given to you by Apple, which can consist 7-10 digits.
Why is the site not accepting my Appstore Nickname or my Review for the initial free app?
Probably we couldn't find your unique Appstore User ID. First you need to download the app we linked for you on the main page at the top in the yellow text, then review it and wait for your review becoming visible on iTunes (1-2 hours). Then provide the Appstore Nickname, which you used for the review, below that yellow text .
Other reasons can be:
- You reviewed the app on a different Appstore, than the US Appstore!
- You use PING (read next answer)
- Your Appstore Nickname must be exact the same, how it appears on iTunes. It is case sensitive ("Gamerboy" is not equal to "gamerboy")!
- Your Nickname shouldn't contain special characters (smileys, stars, asian letters etc.)!
If you use PING, please read the next question and answer.
I use PING. What do I have to do?
Why do I have to log in with Facebook?
Why does the site post messages on my Facebook Wall?
We disabled mandatory reviews for now, but they will be back with the new system.
Apple changed its policy regarding promo codes again, therefor it is possible again to rate and write reviews to apps, which were downloaded by promo codes. Developers appreciate reviews on iTunes rather, because it is more important for them.
Apple changed its system again and promo codes can't be reviewed now. We will overhaul the site completely.
Where is the Facebook site for Promo Dispenser? Do I have to go there?
Where is my Promo Code / How do I get an app from the site?
Do I have to redeem my code manually on iTunes?
I clicked the "Get App with Promo Code" button, but an error occured / nothing happened. What's up?
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. Contact us with your Facebook name!
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?
What are those bubbles on my Account Page?
If you reviewed an app on the US Appstore, but the bubble is still red, click it. It will check your review on the US Appstore and verify your review. Then it will turn green.
