@wilshipley @MichaelTyson but doesn't the whole IAP System allow for paid upgrades? No?

@boone51 Not easily. It’s very hard to write an upgrade to a productivity app and say: here are the “new” features and here’s “old” stuff.

@wilshipley it just seems like the vehicle is there though. Whether or not its been utilized in an effective way is debatable I guess.

@wilshipley @codinghorror there's a mechanism for that; it's called in app purchase

@ozkanaltuner @codinghorror It’s almost impossible to do a decent revision of an app with in-app purchase.

@wilshipley @codinghorror you need to start developing your app w/ correct monetization model in mind, then it's feasible to continue it

.@wilshipley @codinghorror not having paid upgrades is a feature and Apple has said as much.

@magicbeef It’s an idiotic feature and needs to be fixed.

@wilshipley nope.

@magicbeef Well, gosh, I defer to your greater experience.

@wilshipley @codinghorror I think similar can be said for @Google’s Play Store as well. Great points! Impressed by the clarity of few words

@wilshipley @Spacekatgal I guess you’re assuming that their intention is NOT to have crapware + huge software houses like EA?

@wilshipley @CraigGrannell er, what about people who use IAP?

@wilshipley Suggestion for the future: split up stuff that fairly clearly will require separate fixes into separate radars.
