Apple has a iTunes Link Maker tool that you can use to generate the links

More information here

With the link, you can then use

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:itunesURL];

Just use iTunes Link Maker and remove the country code (i.e. "us") out of the link and it would always work open iTunes always and not a browser on the way (if there is iTunes installed on the target system).

Then use the link you got to replace THE_ITUNES_LINK on your code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:THE_ITUNES_LINK];
