I agree but IMO I would create a seperate one to have them download
for free then after that day is over just pull the free one but this
does not fix the issue at hand

Agreed. I experienced this during one of Google's payment processing
outages, trying to make the app free for one buyer. Luckily I didn't
have that many users, now having to convert them all over to a
different package name after unpublishing the first app.
I know it would be _way too difficult_

Actually, the Apple App Store allows apps to go from paid to free and
back. And your app WILL see a spike during its free time.
Isn't that what they have done by requiring you to re-list the app?

Every 5 minutes you spend writing code in a new language is more useful than
5 hours reading blog posts
I think the scenario you describe could be easily rendered moot by
simply zeroing the counters when it's changed from free to charge.
That would discourage that practice in a New York minute.

I think that you can't change a free app to a paid app because Google
wants avoid developers trying to game the market.
A free app gets tons more downloads than paid app (even if paid app is
only $0.99); the difference is not measured in fractions, but in
orders of magnitude. If the developer woul

Yah, I don't know if it's possible to do a mass email to all your

As for downloading an app that is free, then it changed to paid.. I would
hope that the free ap

It's one of those things that wasn't well thought out.. I fail to understand
why you can't go back to paid.. it's all automatic, no human intervention.
Is there any explanation as to why Google chose this path? Like others said,
it is disruptive and probably loses a lot of users for the developer w
I got bitten by this on my app. I changed from paid to free, and
couldn't revert. I had to pull the app from the market unfortunately
and repackage and re-list. Not very intuitive from the developer
console (there should atleast be a warning that the developers get
when going from paid to free).
