Mark:
This sounds like something I’ve been considering too. In my case, it’s an 
educational app. I have a basic app with basic functionality. Then there could 
be a paid app that is pretty much the same, with enhanced functionality, that 
required a login to get advanced functionality. 

What I’m thinking about is a basic app that allows students to collect Earth 
data. The advanced app would have activities, quizzes, etc, that used that data 
and sent the results of student work to the teacher.

Best,
Bill
