"complete their functionality"
Depends on your judgement of complete functionality. If you only need the functionality short of the IAP, then what's wrong with using the free app?
And if you want the full functionality and are happy to pay the IAP, why not just consider it a paid app with something of a trial?
On the latter point, given there is no real app store functionality for trials, free with IAP should be cut some slack when done properly IMO.
- LeoNatan25 9y agoAgree on theory. The net result, however, is that most “free with IAP” is a cesspool of manure. And that’s before we even start to talk about games with this model.
- yoz-y 9y agoI think even if there were no "free with IAP" apps, most of the applications would be really really bad. Most shareware applications were bad too, most web services/web applications are bad. Most paid applications are probably bad too, but one can only test a few of them. The perceived badness of free applications is overblown because there are so many of them (but that is mostly because mobile made distributing applications trivial) and one can test swaths of them, well, for free.
