14 DAY TRIAL // In light of Apple approving promo codes that developers are now allowed to pass out to anyone, a creative developer thought about offering a “buy one, get one free” deal on his app. And he actually did.
Fifth Ace Productions is giving away 20 of its maximum 50 promo codes available for purchasers of its iPhone game, Hexy. You will need a screenshot of your iTunes Receipt, which you must send to the developer for authentication. Hexy will give you a code, in return. More details can be found here.
