iOS apps preloading in-app purchase content?
If anyone has ever gotten into the 7th generation video game consoles (XBox 360, PlayStation 3) and the newer 8th gen (XBox One, PlayStation 4) you might know that when you buy a game, most likely, it has the forthcoming "DLC-Downloadable Content" already on the disc. So when the DLC is announced and released in the following months and you purchase it you are just paying for a digital release to be done on content already on your system.
Am I mistaken in noticing that a great number of the iOS music production apps we all use do the exact same thing? Preloading the entire apps in-app purchase content to your device from jumpstreet?
There are tons of examples I have ran into with the worst offenders being TableTop, BeatMaker, SampleTank, Neo-Soul Keys, iLectric Piano, Amplitube and there are many others to a lesser degree. I remember first trying out SampleTank in the free version and being amazed that the app size was well over 1GB. I thought if that was just for the free version imagine what it will be after buying some content packs, etc. But lo and behold when I dug it enough to spring for the full version there was no download that began and when checking the apps size again in Settings it was the same as before I bought the full version.
I can understand devs doing this to streamline coding or insuring the app is complete on the consumers device for updates or if there are demos that use the in-app purchase features or instruments, etc. Or in the case of apps like Neo-Soul Keys that let you try the keyboards with limited functionality for a short time; they want you to hear the Rhodes samples in all their glory to get you to buy the expansion.
On a PS3 with a 500GB hard drive or a desktop with TB's of storage this wouldn't be a concern. But on my 64GB Air 2 it can quickly get to be a P.I.T.A.
With Neo-Soul Keys for example there are 2 of the 5 or 6 piano expansions they sell that I want and have bought. It would be nice to get back the 500MB of space I am losing by getting rid of the data for those pianos I don't want!
Anyone else notice this? Have an issue with it or better yet some solutions?
