register a US iTunes account with a bogus physical address you look up from Google. Any physical address of an existing company will work.
Looks like they pulled both IB's. I've only got 80 points in the last 3 days. It's been slow going or I'm just missing them.
I would guess it is EXTREEEEMLY likely both will be back. They likely just exhausted the current allotment of codes.
Thanks, but when I tried it just said "Contact iTunes store support to continue with the transaction" or something like that... I'll try tomorrow with another address I guess.
Yup, there were only 4 new sponsored apps - I got about 400 credits. (Fortunately, on all of my iDevices so I still can't complain ;-) ).
Lucky you. No new sposor apps since two or three days here (on 4 iOS devices). And I need only 500 more for Keynote.
I managed to get Angry Birds Seasons and Space both in HD for my wife... But she really wants the original. =o/ I've only got 620 right now... Gonna be a while, if ever. Anyway, this is a great service. Even if just for getting a couple popular iOS games for free. I wonder if the Devs that make their games available get anything in return. =o/ With the insane amount of developers+publishers in the AppStore, its kind of strange that there's only a couple using this.
Wow thank God for Free My Apps. Amoebattle is an awesome game that I managed to get for free! Now I'm fresh out of sponsor apps to download though.
Still loving Amoebattle (gotta shake off some other games and play it more though). I do keep checking the FMA site pretty much daily for new stuff. Only new freebie I've seen is Fluffy Birds. Ashame I didn't know about this site before I got a lot of the other games! It is strange though that they have some huge publishers like EA, Gameloft, Chair, Rockstar and even Apple participating in the "codes" they give away and just a few smaller devs. Not sure if it's because those bigger houses get more codes from Apple to give away or what. You'd think smaller devs would want to participate just from the publicity it gives their games. But I don't know exactly how it works as far as compensation to and from FMA. Still a fun little way to earn apps. Be cool if they could get both more sponsors and gifts!
I couldn't catch it either, not even by regularly (say, at least once an hour) checking it (don't want to miss anything as i download that stuff on at least 8 iDevices - yeah, the advantage of NOT selling my prev-gen iStuff ;-) ). It seems new sponsor apps disappear VERY quickly.
It's a difficult and important question which paid app you "buy" for your hard earned "credits". Because there are not so many "sponsor apps". Same here but in the other direction. Keynote first. And because I have bought all the other Apple apps already (except the office apps). Garage Band and iMovie (wish I had more than 64 GB, cloud or not) are simply awesome. iPhoto has some serious competitors. I know it's pretty off-topic gaming but buy the Apple Apps first because they almost NEVER will go on sale. At least until now their "normal" prices didn't, a VERY rare thing in the iOS App Store. The only changes are updates or they vanish (the only Apple game ever: RIP). I am watching FMA now for one week or so and the "credits" price for the Apple apps never changed as well (others did, esp. Infitity Blade 2 between 800 and 1.800 "credits" if I remember correctly). When you have all the Apple apps you should proceed with premium games that never (or rarely) go on sale. Okay I bought two games first but I collect "credits" with 4 iOS devices…
