How Can I open another App from my app?

I have rediATM app installed on my iphone. rediATM app is free on itunes. I want to open that app from my iphone app. I am not able to find out the way to open it.

i am using the following code to open it but it takes me to the website.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/rediatm-finder/id358936470?mt=8"]];

Please help.

It does not work because you are opening the download link for itunes.

If you want to open another app on your iPhone with your own app, you must find out if this app provides a custom URL scheme. If they do, you could open the app using that custom URL, but otherwise not.

Here is an example how to create a custom URL scheme for your own app Launching Your iPhone App Via Custom URL Scheme and Apple's documentation: Communicating with Other Apps
