Developers set their own pricing. > What I meant by that is Apple discourages developers from charging for upgrades unless the change in functionality is significant. And who defines "significant"? At least they do on the iOS App store so I may be wrong about the Mac version. To the best of my knowledge there's never been a direct paid upgrade to an app on the App Store. To affect one, developers have had to rename their apps and resubmit as new. That would really suck for long established products such as BBEdit etc. One hopes that Apple will get the whole upgrade situation worked out soon for the Mac App Store even though they haven't done it for the iOS store with a several year head start. >Here's the current scenario, repeated many times: To each his own. I don't see app upgrades as that big of a deal, but I can see how checking everything at once in the App Store is handy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
