Unfortunately that’s not supported by Apple on the App Store. Luckily Mac apps aren’t super reliant on the App Store but it’s still a huge issue.

- LVB 3y agoI've purchased "Due" via the App Store, and it tells me I'm entitled to free feature upgrades for 1 year, shows a date when my unlock period expires, and offers a longer-term subscription. So it must be possible.
- happymellon 3y agoAfter the expiration are you still able to access the older version?
- LVB 3y agoYes. They seem to gate on a feature-by-feature basis, know when you bought the license, and you don't get access to the new features after 1 year (unless you're on their subscription plan). You do continue to get the latest app, which includes bug fixes, but the features released past expiration aren't available to you. https://dueapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053244591-What-is-the-Upgrade-Pass https://dueapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053244591-Wh...
- earthnail 3y agoThat is so much more work than simply not getting the latest update. Imagine if sth like IntelliJ put everything behind feature gates instead of just telling you to download an older version…
- happymellon 3y agoI don't think it's their fault, it's the way that Apple have decided to force everyone to develop. Apple want that reoccurring revenue from other people's work.
- outcoldman 3y agoI believe Reeder is doing kind of this feature. They release every year or every other year a new version with new version name like Reeder 5. So, if you want an upgrade, you just purchase Reeder 5, but you can always download Reeder 4 if you have purchased it before.
