Renaming App
I just updated my Tap Forms Lite app from within the app itself. However, the app's name did not change from Tap Forms LT. How can I manually rename the app to remove the LT?

Renaming App
Alan, you can use VoiceOver to relabel the name announced for the app on your iPhone, but you cannot change the name of the app or its associated application file name stored in your iTunes library. The reason is that the App Store keeps track of your purchases based on the actual application versions you bought. If you try to load the Tap Forms app onto another device, and select the regular (paid, not Lite) version, you'll be charged for it, because there will be no record of your purchasing that version. To access a working copy if the full version in your case, you'd have to download another copy of the Tap Forms Lite version, and then restore updates within the app. Keeping the original name (with the LT) is a way of reminding you about this, so you do not get charged twice.

RE: Renaming App
Esther, thanks for the explanation but I don't think I'm getting all of it. Since I did purchase the full Tap Forms app but did so through a link in the program, if I later download the Lite version again to another device and update to the full version within that app, would it be updated for free since it was purchased previously? I believe that's what you're saying below. I don't think I'm a fan of how this works and it would have made since for me to simply purchase the full app using either my phone or the iTunes Store rather than the way I did it. I think it's confusing to have an app labeled as lite when it is no longer the lite version but a full version. Is there any way to get around this without having to pay another $8.99? What is actually happening when an app update is done through the app itself? You mention that there is no record of the purchase. Doesn't the App Store have to be informed of the update purchase? I assume I'll be getting the usual email from them in a day or two dinging me for the $8.99. I know I'm not the only one confused by how app updates are handled because I seem to recall other posts on this topic in the past. Thanks for your help.

Re: Renaming App
Hi Alan, firstly, thank you so much for putting me on to this app. It is exactly what I needed. I downloaded the lite version first and when you go to purchase the full version, it does tell you that the app name will not change from the lt version. I agree, it creates confusion. I am going to just rename the app using voiceover - basically just calling it Tap Forms without the Lt. It does also say that you have to purchase separate copies for your mac and ipad. I also use an ipad for work so will most likely end up doing this as it is going to be so useful. When I do that though, I'll go straight to the paid version in the App Store and pay for it directly for my ipad. I am assuming then that it will be simply called Tap Forms. I wonder if an email to the dev could change the name and remove the Lite when you upgrade via in app purchasing? He seems pretty responsive looking over his blog briefly. Thanks again for this little pearl, Best, Jo Sent from my iPhone On 17/07/2013, at 2:09 PM, Alan Lemly wale...@gmail.com wrote: Esther, thanks for the explanation but I don't think I'm getting all of it.
