I'd looking for suggestions on the best strategy for this situation.
I have an app I'd like to make available on 4 platforms: iPhone/iPad,
Android, standalone download (both Mac & Windows), and a protected web site.
Preferably, I'd like buyers of the iOS or Android versions to get a free
standalone and free access to our web site. I am thinking that if a
customer buys the iOS or Android app, we can use the proof of those
purchases to send them the standalone and give them access to our site.
Sounds straightforward so far.
The problem comes up as follows.
Three of these platforms are done, but the Android app is still a month
or so away. We presumably need all sales to be through Apple
(iTunes/iPhone/iPad) or the Android store, as my understanding is that
there is no practical manner to allow a customer to, for example,
purchase a subscription to our web site, then use that purchase (credit)
to download a full version of our iOS app without paying for the app
through Apple. Same thing with the Amazon App Store... a customer could
not download our Android app using a credit from having purchased our
standalone, for example.
Some of our users (perhaps a fairly large number) will not have EITHER
an iPhone or an Android phone currently, but may buy one in the near
future.... yet they want immediate access to our standalone and web
site. Would it make sense to insist that all customers buy either our
iPhone or Android app, even if they don't have one of these phones, in
order to get access to our standalone and web site? Is this the simplest
strategy to use?
Thanks.
