Default FREE App Review Exchange

As most of you already know, Apple changed their policy to disallow the leaving of a review when the App was downloaded through a promo code.

Gonna have to work harder for reviews.

Guys, just post the link to your free app instead of saying "I'm interested". What does that accomplish? Post your link so everyone can review you, and then you can review back. It's very simple.

Good idea :P

Here's mine: Walkabout Lite for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store

I'll review every link posted here (Honest reviews so don't be upset :P )

So, this is the new thread for those who want to exchange reviews for their Free apps. To make this easier, here is a link to my free app, iVite: iVite Free for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store

If you post a response with "App Reviewed", and post your link, I'll be glad to return the favor. This should speed up the process.

EDIT: If you have a question about the app or need a friend to send an event to, please PM me before leaving a bad review. Let's help each other out!

Thanks,

INOV8
Keep in mind the recent guideline changes...

3.10
Developers who attempt to manipulate or cheat the user reviews or chart ranking in the App Store with fake or paid reviews, or any other inappropriate methods will be removed from the iOS Developer Program

Thanks man.

However, there is nothing manipulative or inappropriate here. We are just asking for honest reviews from fellow developers.

I can't imagine how "exchanging reviews" is not manipulating the system. But to each his own.

When you are shopping the app store, would you prefer to see "exchanged" reviews, or real, unsolicited ones?

Honestly, it doesn't matter, as long as they're honest. Who cares if they are solicited? If I see an app with a two star rating, I'm not buying it because it sucks - whether those reviews were unsolicited or solicited doesn't make a lick of difference.

If you say so.

However, this suggests that they won't be:

The only problem is, if you want to review an app, you have to buy it.
Not many devs will review an app, because they are busy developing their owns and if they have to pay for it, then I wouldn't hold my breath back...

The only solution is Promo Dispenser. It was reworked and now our users will spread and review the apps on Facebook.

Reviewing apps is mandatory on promo dispenser and every app will be posted on the user's wall, so your app will get a tremendous boost in marketing.

Because apple doesn't allow reviews on iTunes for promo codes anymore, the only way to get feedback and communicate with your users is using promo dispenser.

It doesn't cost anything and what can you lose? Some otherwise useless promo codes?

Additional twitter extension will be introduced shortly.

Search for Promo Dispenser on Google or in this forum.

Talking

I would like to do a review exchange for one of my new free apps, called 'Texture Collection'. There are no in-app purchases and this is the full version.

Please send me a PM if you are interested with the App you want me to review. Please include your iTunes Store name and App Store Country so I can recognize your review.

Cool Horrible Ways To Die Review

Hi, I am new to the Apple developer community, and we have just launched two apps with a third in the concept stage. Horrible Ways To Die is free, so if anyone could take a look at it and give a good review, it would be welcomed.

Also, I advise checking out Spring a Leak, where you can track where you mark your spot. It is 99 cents.







Also - We are looking for someone to sponsor one of our apps. We can sponsor your business or objective with banner ads, Plain text, And a button link to another app, or website.
Feel free to contact me at michael(at)nabercentral.com if interested.

Thanks
