I have no experience with the Apple Store, but from what you tell me
there is no way to create a trial version for apps. But since you can
try an app for 14 days, I guess there is just not much sense in doing
that, considering that two weeks are a long enough period for evaluating
an app.
But this is totally different with Google Play, where you can offer
time-limited apps. That is what -for example- Poweramp (one of the most
popular music players for Android) does: after 14 days it starts showing
invasive nag screens that ask you to buy the full version. Other app
developers choose to offer a free "lite version", where many features
are disabled or somehow limited, and you can only unlock them by buying
the full version.
In my opinion, this is what every Android developer should do, because
the 2 hours time that allows you to ask for a refund is too short for
proper evaluation of the app.
Anyway I don't have/need to convince anyone: this is just my opinion,
and I'm sure many others will think differently.

AFAIK Squeezer does not have a donation page. If it did, I would have
already donated to the project.
Anyway when I invite to "support open source software" I don't mean
financially only. There are also other means of support. For example
participating in the community, beta-testing and helping in the
development is a valid support too. Or even just spreading the word to
make a software more popular. Sometimes people that come from the
Windows/Apple world don't even know that open source software exists.
But I think we are going off-topic here. :)
