Redeeming in-app purchase promo codes

Apple recently added promo codes for in-app purchases. Here’s how to redeem them. For this example, we’re going to use our partner SNAPP Guides, but the same approach will work for The Photographer’s Ephemeris. Here goes:

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the About Page and choose Restore Purchases:

  1. Once done, you’ll see your new SNAPP Guide downloading under the “ My Guides ” section:
