Do a navigatetourl to this address:

itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=514220257

where the number at the end is the ID to your app. You can get the ID by doing all of the submission of the app, except for the Application Loader part. By then you should have an ID number to plug in, and you do another distribution build with the link set correctly.

Hey guys, I have a similar issue. I want to link to the app store on the iPad from a lite version of an app, to the full version.

So there's some text saying, "For the full version click here" and an app store button. What URL do I use please?

You can use what Apple suggest that I posted above, but thats really a bad way of doing it because it first goes to iTunes then the App store, sometimes it times out and in general the process takes too long, about 3-4 seconds, too long for the A.D.D. world we live in, so one way of doing is to just link to your app through the link you get from the iTunes Connect website.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weaphones-firearms-simulator/id517642765?mt=8

That opens the app store to your app with the purchase in the top right, I am sure its not the ultimate way of doing it, but I have done it before with my lite apps and it works just fine.

Right thanks mate. I had decided to use that URL, but imagined it would just open safari and display the "iTunes Preview" in Safari on the iPad. Because it loads that page up on Firefox on my PC when I run the app on the PC.

But on the iPad, it does indeed load the app store, with my full version app there ready to be purchased! Wonderful!

This is what apple officially suggests but its a crappy method because it first goes through iTunes then when the user hits the review button, it hangs and then loads the app store app, and sometimes it just crashes.

To send customers to a specific application:
http://itunes.com/apps/appname
To send customers to a list of apps you have on the App Store:
http://itunes.com/apps/developername
To send customers to a specific app with your company name included in the URL:
http://itunes.com/apps/developername/appname

Colin I will be using your method on my next update.

Cool, thanks, I'm presuming the "purple+software" would be my company name?

No, purple was an iPhone codename, and it still haunts things like this. Use exactly the link I gave you, only change the number at the end.
