I know a few of you guys have/are using the site, and it sounds like a really good idea. I'm just wondering how it's working out.

    I have used it several times.

    The plus is that you really do get a substantial number of reviews. You cant beat it for that.

    The down is that your codes may or may not get used up really quick.
    So, if you are just trying to dump your 50 codes really quick for a sales spike it isnt always the best option.

    However, most people want reviews from their codes so i would say it is the best option for that.

    Yes i used and got good feedback on it. If the person using wants to get another code for a game then theyhave to leave yours feedback 1st. That way, your guaranteed to get reviews for your promo. Dont lob 50 on there, its a relatively small site, as Hunn (the creator) says, put 5-10 codes on at a time!
    Warning There was an error rendering this rich post.

    yeah. I usually stick 5 per game up.
    Really good for getting decent honest reviews, that are usually very constructive.

    RTFM(aterials) with emphasis on the F...love it! I wish I could treat clients from my day job like that. This not even a dig hunn, I'm totally agreeing with you!

    :-)

    If you get tens of similar emails daily and you don't even get paid for the hours spending on support issues every day, you get a bit burned out with the time :-)

    If I would get 1 dollar for every "what is your user name" mail I had to write, I would be rich already. :-)

    I think, I was still friendly, but if somebody has a problem and all he is able to do is posting an "it doesn't work" randomly on the net, he doesn't deserve a better answer until he knows, how to get help.

    Maybe it's just me, but everybody knows, I am an asshole...so.... :-)

    If somebody wants a nicer answer for the same old question the 1000th time, he should ask his avarage canadian forum buddy :-P

    To prove Promo Dispenser's usefulness and to show, how many iTunes reviews you can get for your promo codes (if your app is any good!) look at the below apps.

    All reviews are scraped in real time from US Appstore!

    Orange names indicate reviews by Promo Dispenser users:

    amopic

    http://iphoneapp-promocodes.com/appinfo-1322.html
    iLabyrinth

    http://iphoneapp-promocodes.com/appinfo-1318.html
    Meekoo

    http://iphoneapp-promocodes.com/appinfo-1211.html
    Tangled2

    These apps would have NO or very few reviews on iTunes without Promo Dispenser. Now they can show off with a pretty nice ammount of reviews.

    I'm not sure what's up, I uploaded six codes, my account says three have been used, yet I have 4 reviews in orange. ?

    I think this site is a pretty good tool. My app has not had many takers, but I believe that is because my app is so unappealing (see my faked forum signature below). I would recommend giving it a try, but be fully aware that it guarantees reviews, not necessarily good reviews. And people still have to want to try the app.

    I'm not being sent a registration e-mail. Am I doing something wrong?

    Wow! I feel stupid. I forgot to check my spam.

    @Design219: We are working on refining the system.

    The names in orange indicate Promo Dispenser users, but not only those, who took your code.

    If you as a developer for example have written a review for your own app (many people do it), because you bought your own app, or you used a promo code outside of promo dispenser and you registered your appstore id on promo dispenser, your name will be orange too.

    Also if somebody bought your app and wrote a review, but he/she is also a registered promo dispenser user, will be shown in orange.

    As I said, we try to refine the system, so only people, who really took a code, will be shown in orange on your app's page.

    However the range of "unreal" orange names is between 1 to 2. Orange names are shown based on registered appstore ID, so all orange names are real promo dispenser user names.

    I hope, that clarifies...
