The Curious Case of Missing App Store Redeem Button

Aug 6, 2009

We receive promo codes from iPhone App developers both for giveaways as well as for reviews & sneak peeks. The  iTunes App lets us redeem those promo codes right from the iPhone.

It used to be in the iTunes application under the More option. But, when I looked recently it was gone! I was like, hmmm.

Where could it be?

And it was in the last place I would have looked except for this tip from Brooke. I found it under the Featured section of the App Store app hidden in the very bottom!

I think it is totally unintuitive. I mean hiding it under the ‘Featured’ section but I think I like it better that it is in the App Store app though.

Apparently, it seems this is not the first time this link has been move. It’s been making it’s journey from the Downloads section in iTunes app to More section in App Store App to More section in the iTunes app and now back on to the App Store app.

Make up your mind, Apple!
