How To Redeem an Apple App Store Code on an iPhone, iPad or iPod?

This week, we got a great question from one of our readers:

How do I redeem a code for an app on my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch anyway?

Although it might seem obvious to some if you’ve never redeemed a code before from the Apple App Store, it can be a little tricky, so we appreciate this great question!

There are a couple of ways to do it on your device or via iTunes on your computer. Let’s take a look!

The easiest way to redeem a code for an app is directly on your device. Launch the iTunes App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
