[android-developers] Re: Request for Ideas: how to handle a major upgrade to my App
...Wait a week or a month, or whatever, then drop the bomb. They can't say you didn't warn them. The old 'tough love' approach. Not a bad idea, and if I'd only had the sense to build a decent customer communications method into my app like you did it could have been feasible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Request for Ideas: how to handle a major upgrade to my App
Interesting, hadn't thought of in-app purchases. That may work as well because I currently have a Free version of the app and two separate Paid versions (all build from the same codebase though). Having an In-App purchase would be neat. There is a downside though: the paid version of my app is very highly rated because the folks who buy it (generally) understand what it is for and how to use it...the ratings for the Free version suffer from the normal idiot pollution that affects many free apps. Will need to think about that. On Feb 27, 3:20 pm, John Coryat cor...@gmail.com wrote: Here's a way you can migrate your paid users... Release your new app as free with in-app purchase and create a way to use an unlock code. You'll need a server interface to check the validity of the code and a way of telling your existing customers about it. Using an unlock code will make it possible for paid users to download your new free app and use it without having to pay again. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
