Nik, are the parameters of a “Lifetime” purchase defined somewhere? Nitro is currently at 1.0 (or thereabouts). Presumably Nitro 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc are included in the Lifetime purchase but will Nitro 2.0 require purchasing a new licence? Apps are all over the map in this regard, Affinity Photo provided free updates for several years while others upgrade to a new version (eg. 2.0) every year. Where do you expect Nitro will fit into this cycle of upgrades and updates?
Lifetime purchases get all updates for free. There won’t be a break at major versions.
That’s because Nitro won’t have versions like 1.0, 2.0. It will use a “year.version” notation, like 2024.1 and eventually 2025.1 with continuous improvement.
The prices are visible in two places:
1) If you download the app and view the prices in the paywall (View Options)
2) In the App Store description, there is a section called Information with In App Purchases. The prices are listed there.
I assumed that the “one-time payment” was only for the current version, with additional payments required for newer versions — similar to the way most non-subscription apps are priced.
It seems from this thread that “$99.99 once (or $79.99 for RAW Power customers)” = “as long as the app is in active development, you will get the latest version for free”.
