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
