@flyosity Wouldn’t unlocking a trial mode be under the same patent the trolls are going after?
Basically all these IAP shenanigans would be moot if Apple provided developers a number of great ways to have an app run in trial mode.

@jnjosh Yup, so that needs to be fixed first. Actually someone on HN had a good idea: check geo coords and don't let east texas users use it - View other replies

@flyosity Might as well just have a small quiz before purchase. If they believe in software patents, no IAP. :) -
@jnjosh Haha nice

@flyosity Man, I gotta stop fav'ing your Tweets. You're on fire today. -
@antonpeck Haha thanks man! You can see why I don't blog anymore. I just write 140 character things :) -
@flyosity You should blog more. I would read it. Especially considering that I'm doing more mobile app stuff these days. -
@antonpeck Alright man I'll think about it! -
@flyosity Whatever. I know you won't. ;-) -
@antonpeck@flyosity So true. Blogging is like exercising. I know I should and that it would be good for me, but I never get around to it.

@flyosity Isn't a free app + IAP a paid app with a trial mode? - View other replies

@diegopetrucci Yup, but with developers jumping through hoops about it and users not really knowing completely up-front.

@flyosity I wonder if Apple things a lot of people wouldn’t understand software trials and why apps suddenly “stop working” hence push 4 IAP -
@sevitz If anyone could explain to users what this means and have a wonderful experience around it, it's Apple + indie debs. -
@flyosity I can’t see the technical side being insurmountable so I can only assume Apple thinks having some apps stop after 7 days is bad.

@flyosity …or at least host videos on an app's page. -
-
@flyosity that'd be awesome. -
@flyosity fascinating idea, I wonder what the internal discussions have been like at apple about this -
@flyosity I can kind of understand the reluctance to upgrade pricing (lots of corner cases, confusing etc), but trials should be doable.
