How to redeem promo codes on iPhone and iPad
|
iOS

If you follow Pocket Gamer on Twitter (and you probably do - we just hit 100,000 followers), then you may have seen us giving out free iOS games via things called promo codes.

These are one-use codes that you can pop into iTunes to add a game or app to your account. It's easy, just follow these simple steps:

01

Open up the App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and make sure you're on the front page (aka 'Featured'). Scroll to the bottom and hit the Redeem button.

02

Enter your password when prompted. Then, tap on the box that says 'You can also enter your code manually'. Now type in or paste the promo code and hit 'Redeem' in the top right corner.

03

Wait a few seconds and the app will be added to your account and will start to download. Enjoy your game, you freeloader.

04

If you're not near your device, don't fret. You can also redeem codes through iTunes on a computer.

Open iTunes, navigate to the App Store section, and find 'Redeem' under 'Quick Links' on the right hand side bar. Enter your password, type in your code, and slam that redeem button with the force of a Norse god.
