    I am Glad that Apple is Pushing so many apps outta their testing team so quickly.... But I missed out when StrongHolds free was released.
    Now that I really want to try that out, I am not able to download it from the U.S. account & also the Indian account that I have in the Appsstore, Message : The App you are trying to download is not available in your store.

    Where is it available ? & how can I get it ? :confused:

    I do not believe in cracked apps :eek:

    PS : sorry if this has already been asked, I tried all the keywords that I could think of, but did not generate any search results :cool:

    Australia, mate!
    You can create an Australian account without needing to have a credit card. Then you can somehow get a hold of an Australian iTunes Gift Card and then purchase it.

    How do I create that account ? I do not get the Option None in the account creation screen :(

    Will wait till its re-approved & released worldwide... Surely it'll be out in the U.S. Account :)

    Thank you all for your responses

    Can't remember the specifics, but you need a promo code of some kind... after you've entered one it lets you create an account without adding a card. So for US it's easy since there are loads of promos about, but AU... I have no idea.

    Australia, mate!
    You don't need to enter a promo code. You just need to download a free app.

    Firstly, if you are already logged into your iTunes account, sign out, and download a free app. A page will appear that will ask you to create an account. Just continue, until you will be asked to choose your payment method. At the end, there should be option to select 'none'. Just keep going until you finish creating your account. Then, you need to somehow get hold of an Australian iTunes gift card and use to it get your game. For information, click here.

    Apps downloaded under multiple accounts?

    Aren't your apps tied to your account? i.e. if I create an Australian account to download this, won't I be stuck between having that one app and all my others? :confused:

    Anyone care to explain this one to me? I'm guessing it must be possible since there are people using US accounts to use promo codes...

    Lemme do the Honors :)

    If I bought it from the Auzzie store, the updates will work only if I sign in to tht account on itunes & then check update...

    That is how DEEP it can be stuck.

    While syncing it will NOT remove apps from da othr countries account, instead it may ask you to authorize it randomly for the countries you have accounts from

    Does tht help ?

    EDIT :

    I had askd tht question in a thread here

    Hate to be "that guy" and all... but isn't this a lot of work and eventual maintenance just to save 2 bucks? :confused:

    I think you may be right.

    Many thanks to Ultimo for the help, and if I try it later today I'll let everybody know how it worked out.
