- albertogh 15y agoNames are unique in the App Store, so it's too late for that.
- gujk 15y agoThat is slightly bizarre restriction, but can be worked around by naming the app "AppName Pro by Developer".
- DuqE 15y agoAnother work around is to create a pro app and offer in-app purchasing to upgrade to a pro version, at least your profiting from your existing user-base and they know they are not paying for this ripped off version without realising.
- dspillett 15y agoAppName Super-Pro? Or AppName Hyper-Pro? That way it'll be ahead of the rip-off version alphabetically.
- ahoyhere 15y agoAppname Pro - Official

Designing, building, and supporting a new product is a big longterm investment (even if it's just a Free/Pro version).
