Apple blocking registered devices from leaving reviews!?!?

As title says I have now for over a week tried to submit reviews for butterbean fling a zombie and now for sons of Remus. After apps have even transferred to my iMac iTunes and numerous syncs. It still says you must own or have purchased this app to leave a review. Butterbean said she had the same problem so I feel apple is blocking registered dev devices from leaving reviews as part of their crackdown.

    Theres some issues sometimes with the reviews when you use promo codes.

    Just go to the app again in the app store and click to buy and it should tell you you've already purchased would you like to download again.

    That should fix it for you.

    I have had these issues in the past, but after a while, it always works :)

    Wish it worked, but when I go to app the installed is grated out and won't let me install again

    I'm having the same issue. I've tried re-downloading, deleting and downloading again but nothing seems to work. I've had this before but it always seems to have cleared itself after a day or two. But with Riffels "clay moon" it hasn't let me leave a review. The only difference is that I used the promo from my phone not iTunes.

    Sometimes when you use a promo code from your device it can take up to a week so you can leave a review its some sort of weird bug.. It will keep saying that you cant leave a review without purchasing the app. To avoid this just redeem the code from itunes in your mac and then you can leave a review right away.

    So now promo dispenser shutdown their site. Because of apple blocking promo code reviews. Sorry Hun!
    So good luck getting any reviews from app review sites with your promo codes.
    Personally I still make money on apps without any reviews or low stars but anyways.

    man that had to literally just happen cause I left a promo code review maybe the day before you posted this.

    That really bites that they would ban all of them. the point of a promo code it to allow for some people/sites to try the app so you can get some honest reviews. O maybe apple will start leaving an initial review on each app. how great would that be?
