But in-app purchase requirements seem less than fully transparent (i.e., it can be difficult to suss out what one truly needs to pay for at the time of purchase) The problem is that Apple still hasn't come up with any good way for developers to offer paid upgrades. You're absolutely right that this is better than the monthly subscription model and that software development costs money. I need to think this over because I really don't want to shed ten dollars to 'un-gimp' this app.- Readdle team spent around 6 months developing this feature, so it is quite new :) I could've been charged more from the beginning just to ensure that I continue to get these refinements in the future. It's not like these features are really new. It was described on Readdle's Twitter too: So, let us know what the plan is going forward with PDF Expert and customers will be better prepared to deal with it.- Readdle described the situation around in-app purchase and what feature it brings in their blog here:, press releases are meant to be for press, and blogs & twitter for people. Readdle is a well-known company in the Apple community. Let customers know beforehand that there's an update in the future and I think it will come off better.IMO. In the legal, academic, and research profession this is an important issue.- There are many cases when user needs to edit PDF text, for example to correct the presentation, invoice, update CV and other files, so it makes perfect sense to have this abilityīut I would prefer giving customers a heads up. The integrity of the PDF document is destroyed by the ability of readers to edit them. Before, there never was a feature of editing existing PDF text on PDF Expert in iOS, and Readdle team worked over the last 6 month developing this. It is a one-time purchase of Text Editing feature, for 9.99$, which is a more user-friendly price comparing to apps allowing to do way more than other apps for 'from $180/year' subscription. The in-app purchase enables you to edit existing text in the PDF document, also edit it's size and font. The new is free for all existing PDF Expert iOS users. Hello world! I'd like to give some clarification on the new PDF Expert 6. You willingly purchased the app without these additional features, so you must've been happy to pay the price at the time. Other apps may have had such features already, and if you needed those features when you bought the app, you should've purchased one of those alternatives instead. It's not like these features are really new.They're new to the iOS version of this app. You still have the app you paid for with the features you agreed to get at the price you paid when you bought it. I mean, I already paid for the app (both Mac and iOS).And nothing has changed. You're still getting quite a few other things: new design, work in the cloud, password protection, enhanced search, edit outlines and the usual bug fixes for your free upgrade. These features were not part of the app when you purchased it, and there was no promise that such features would be made available for free when you purchased. What's the point of the free upgrade if I still have to pay $9.99 for the new features?You don't 'have to pay' - only if you want the new PDF editing features.
