    For FMA, some campaigns are geo-targeted. Almost all of the really big campaigns are open to all countries though. Some campaigns are also iPad only/iPhone only, etc. Facebook/Twitter is a good way to get notices about large campaigns running on FMA.

    The ones that I am sure many of you see up that are iPad only even if you are accessing FMA from an iPhone, you shouldn't actually be seeing, and we are aware of the problem and working on fixing that. I think My Sparkle and Tribez HD are iPad only but still show up for all devices even though you can't get points for them.

    With VPNs you can spoof your country IP pretty easily. Our geo-targeting is IP based so even if your device originally connected from say, Serbia, then if you ever use VPNs, we will check your 'current' IP everytime you connect so you can get access to different offers, say if you use a US IP. I don't think this is a bannable offense (not really my department, I'm not even customer service I just use toucharcade for myself so don't think of me as the voice of FMA or anything). As long as the IP you connect from (I assume you want US for the most offers) downloads the app from the same country's store, then it should be fine. Just be aware that some IPs we consider 'unsafe' for fraud purposes and you might run into issues.

    Sure hope FAS brings Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes as an app choice to spend my hard earned credits...

    I press SPIN once then refresh the page for all my additional spins. I'm also not in the US and had to use a VPN to get my rewards.

    I sent in review to gnome escape using screenshots and they credited me right away.

    I am not getting credits for WriteIT, though :(... I logged in, watched the intro, played a duel and... nada. And FMA was always so good to me with apps nearly always registering without a hitch.

    Not like appcasher, where I wouldn't get credits for 30 - 50% of downloaded apps...

    Didn't get my 2 free spins for posting my redemption if points to FB but I did at least get Might and Magic.

    I'm left to assume they've shut off all free spins and moving forward we'll only get spins for downloading apps.
    Of course, the most recent d/l app yesterday (the picture one) never gave me my spins either...If that continues, I will have cashed out at the right time for once

    What!? I missed a free app on freemyapps? That's not even fair dude, it didn't even last 8 hours. They should add more come on, I'm so close to another gift card! Just 150 to go

    Appbounty just added 5 apps that aren't available in FAS, FAS might add these apps later, but I'm gonna go for it.

    If you do the math, you'll know you won't end up with 12,000 credits for 20 spins.(or may be you will:D)

    anyway it's up to you guys!

    Tried a few different VPN options picking various spots around the US and still no apps available for FMA.

    So far my experience of FMA is as follows:
    • Slow moving and long delays (sometimes weeks) before a new app is avail.
    • Buggy ~ about 1/3 of apps do not post credit (adding to problems)
    • Device mix ups often... apps only for iPad showing up on iPhone, or apps crashing and not working after downloaded.
