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 when this happens, especially when the version of the app that went to free has bugs, or new features are needing to be added.. now the user has to download a new app.. worse..they have to know that they need to do this. Mass email by developer to those that downloaded originals?
