How to Pre-Order Apps

You are now able to pre-order apps on the App store. This feature has been requested for a while and means that you can buy upcoming apps in advance, and then download them the moment they are released.

It’s also very simple to do!

How to pre-order apps

• Open the App Store, or iTunes store.


• Find your way to the App that you’d like to pre-order.


• It will tell you under the app information if the product is available now, or if it’s up for pre-order.


• Tap/click the price. You will then be presented with a confirmation screen.


• Tap/click Confirm, and you’re done.

When the product is launched, you will be billed through the payment method you used upon pre-ordering. If you have Automatic Downloads enabled then your pre-order will download the moment it can, and then appear in your purchases.

If you’d like to see what pre-orders you currently have active, then do the following.

How to view your pre-orders:

• Make your way into Settings > (Your name) > iTunes & App Store.


• Hit your Apple ID and then View Apple ID.


• Tap “Pre-Orders” (If you don’t have any pre-orders active, you won’t be able to see this option)


• From here you can view information about your pre-orders, or cancel them.
