Redeeming Developer Promo Codes In iTunes

By Dave Taylor


I've started reviewing Apple iPhone games and just had a game developer tell me that he'd like me to check out his game and sent me a promo code. I'm a bit baffled by this: how do I redeem a promo code for an iPhone application so that I don't have to pay for the game?
