Apple needs to build in proper software support for app trials. You shouldn't need two copies of the apps in the app store (each with their own ratings and comments). You should be able to purchase the full version of the app and keep your existing data (tricky to do unless the developer builds in code to send your data to the server and load it back into the paid version of your app, since apps can't share data).

That lets you sell the upgrade to the full version from inside the trial version, and avoids any issues with data migration.
