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.

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. HTH. Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing viphone@googlegroups.com.
