Default Please help me regarding app reviews

Hi friends,
I just launched an iPhone app but the problem is that i am not getting enough downloads. I have submitted my app to 20 major app review sites with promo codes for a review but still i didnt got any response from a single site. Its almost 2 days now i have submitted my app. I am afraid my app will be dead in the app store till i get any good review published on any app review site and i think it will be useless to get the review on any site after too much long time. . Downloads are decreasing every day

Can any one please guide me that on which sites i can get a free review immediately?

i have realized that its better to have some reviews in advance before the app is released on app store. As it will give a good boost to downloads. Please can u tell me how can i do that? how to submit app to the reviewers for review when it is not live in app store yet?

And one more question plz. is it ok to submit the lite version of the app to app review websites if the lite version is having ads in it?

Please help me out ......

1. Reviewers don't have to review your app. In fact most of them won't. You just have to keep trying, no special trick.

2. You'd have to coordinate with them on giving them a sort of GM(golden master) version through TestFlight or sending them the IPA file with a provisioning profile.

3. I wouldn't. If a reviewer is going to review your app, you should give them the best version.

I don't think any website would do the review for free. BTW, have you tried Alpha Digits?
Alpha Digits | Submit App For Review
I read a PR about this site somewhere.

Default Review

I am part of the Naber Central team, and we do reviews for free.

It really depends on the app, but we try to get our reviews out in a couple of days even hours.

Thanks

Never send promocodes when you contact review sites - have them ask for promocode from you.

FYI we can send your app announcement to hundreds of app review sites (we have 454 sites in our database) - see sig.
