    App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.


    Looks like Apple is doing a US (too?) "12 Days of Christmas" this year? Get this app if you want to be officially updated! "Please note: Not all content is available in all countries." However, in previous years I don't think Us consumers could even download the app?

    Edit: I also see: Requires iOS 7.0 or later. So us iOS 6 older device owners are out of luck installing the app. However, you can just search for the items they're giving away in the regular app store and they'll be available to download for free. The app is just fancy "wrapping paper".

    If it's different in your country, PM me or post in this thread and I'll list it here too.
    Note that some of the links might not work because they're for songs or movies, but are interpreted by the referral software as being for apps. If that happens, just search for the title in your app store directly, or select "quote" and cut and paste the link from the raw post.

    Wait for it. Appshopper is slow at catching up. It JUST went live, according to Apple's tweet, and I did just follow the link and download it, so it does work.

    Not to be ungrateful for whatever they give, but why is an app like this 61 MB? Sure, it's small in the scheme of things but isn't just going to be links for each day embedded?

    I was able to get to it. However it's ios7 only. I do have an old 4s hanging into life by a thread. I guess I'll update it for this since I won't be gaming or anything on it.

    Yes, that's what the app description says.

    Yes, Apple picks the items they'll offer for free. I imagine it'll work the same or similar to how the Apple Store app works now. You get a code by going to your region within the app. But that's just my best guess. We'll find out exactly how, once it goes live after Christmas.

    Come on Apple. Is it really that hard to include people that aren't using iOS 7?!??!? That's really crappy.

    Looks like we will get a free movie rental and tv show based on the FAQ/info and possibly a book
