I would put it up as a free trial that expires after a while, because once people have the free app, you cannot make them pay for it, and I think you will find that after the first surge of users, the subscribers will drop off pretty dramatically.
If you ever expect to sell it, I would start that way right from the git go. People take offense at paying for something that yesterday they got for nothing. If you still intend to pursue the free model, then offer a scaled down one and call it "lite" with some of the really cool handy features people will want most in the "Pro" version. my 2ยข Bob On Jun 3, 2011, at 10:39 AM, Andy Henshaw wrote: > I have just had my first Livecode iPhone app using externals (sqllite) > approved for the App Store. > > The App is 'Tracker2Go' ( > http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tracker2go/id433038944?mt=8&ls=1 ) if anyone > wants a look, it uses the sqlite databases, datagrid, internet search, > animation engine, charts engine and Scotts Rossis pie chart controls.
