What's the alternative? Why would you leave the old version on the store? I don't understand why anyone would benefit from both (hypothetically) Prompt 2 and Prompt 3 being for sale at the same time.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoIt's not so much about people having to choose, it's people that bought Prompt 2 being forced to upgrade if they for example set up a new mac.
- chii 6y agoyou get to redownload purchased software don't you, even if it was taken off the store from the public?
- bengale 6y agoYes, you don't lose access to purchases just because they're not still for sale.
- hinkley 6y agoIt can be weird though. I had a hobby I kept meaning to get back to Some Day(tm) and when I did the app was on my device just like always, but I was now two devices later and it would simply crash on startup. I’m fairly sure that at some point those devices ran low on space (less of a problem today, but mostly because I’ve been off the music treadmill for a while) and I had to delete things to keep working.
- eps 6y agoYeah, you do. Apps routinely disappear from the AppStore, e.g. after some M&A and such. They just vanish from your purchase history without a trace. No way to get a copy if you don't have one already.
- sokoloff 6y agoSo long as I can download my previously paid-for Prompt when I get and setup a new device, no problem.
