Question: If we sell an education math app that is a free download but limits the numbers (say 1 to 5) but has an in-app purchase to get the full range, is that acceptable?
- Balgair 8y ago> If we sell an education math app that is a free download... (emphasis mine) Wait, I'm confused here. Are you (hypothetically, yes) selling something or giving away just half of it hoping that you can eventually sell the other half?
- protomyth 8y agoWell, seemed a lot more family friendly than Ads. More like giving a taste with the smaller numbers, and seeing if its something that is worth buying.
- Balgair 8y agoOh, like food samples at Costco. Got it.
- protomyth 8y agoYeah, that is about right. I just don't like the whole concept of ads with children's education. Also, we are trying for a low distraction feel and ads would really make things difficult for some children who really need to have the distractions at minimal.
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoIf buying it then means the transaction between us is over, and I get a fully working app with no ads, no popups asking to buy extra "coins" or anything, and my kid can play that app with no other interruptions or anything I need to be wary of, then yeah that sounds fine. Just sounds like a free trial/demo to me which is fair.
- protomyth 8y ago> If buying it then means the transaction between us is over It should be, but iOS sometimes requires code upgrades which makes me wonder how long a person supports a version of a program on iOS. The whole length of support versus new version is problematic. I would assume version fixes for a number of years. Should be ok for an educational program since the useful lifetime is limited by the nature of the lesson.
