    Apple can remove anything on the spot if requested , and does it not cost a developer money to keep their apps to date and in the app store?

    You as a developer can also remove your own app immediately if you wish. That still doesn't mean it is possible for users of that app to receive updates to it, and if they had just purchased it they are quite likely to get upset.

    I think the calculation the companies do which sport these types of pricing is that it will be less costly to push updates to an old app rather than removing it completely (which will make people upset and angry, go on to messageboards to complain, leave bad reviews wherever they can etc). That will cost in man-hours, guarding various messageboards and Facebook groups, put a strain on their support for answering questions about pricing instead of bugs/feature requests etc.

    Now we are down to me guessing though, but I did ask a developer who put these types of prices on their apps what the reasons were, and at the time the answer was what I wrote above.

    I was talking about Apple removing apps for developers ( not customers) and i mentioned it because some older app by fruity loops was listed for $1000, on the other hand customers can also do this by raising an argument about an app to apple, but Apple won't touch the app unless the developer wants them to or if the app violates their rules.

    I have never liked the pricing structure of IK, I think its a rip off. For example I own TRacks 5 and want to update to Tracks Deluxe and its the same price as buying it as a new customer. There is no clear update price.
    IOS is a totally different ball game and again their pricing structure sucks.
    From a company point of view, its good for them, its about making money.

    I purchased mic room ios assuming it could be used inside other daws like a iAP th sam way th Slash Amplitube can but its not the case with Mic Room, you actually have to buy them separately.

    When i posted the thread i had thought IK Multimedia only added IAP support for their signature amps tones recently, such tones like (Fender, Slash, Hendrix etc) and because i had not tried anything on a iPad since the iPad mini 2 came out i was far from figuring it out, but when i heard the iPad pros will support external HDS i went out and got a Second Gen iPad Pro and because of latency with Amplitube i got just about everything Eventide and PG BIAS sells in the app store.

    This gets interesting, last week my PG BIAS FX got messed up after trying a Ik Multimedia iRig Micro Amp on my iPad pro, i had no idea, i knew everything too would sound muddy through a io with a mono speaker (which i what it is) but when i disconnected everything from the iPad i noticed latency and all my tons lacked distortion,
    So i tried un installed and re installed all my PG BIAS stuff and it all worked again which made me wonder if i should try Amplitube and to my surprise it worked great and i ordered a number of tones and a iRIg blueboard.

    Now my blueboard can't communicate properly in midi modes B and C in Logic Pro, mods B and C seem unpredictable and other advised me to try connecting it to a PC via a micro USB cable and i do not have a PC or Parallels., but its word right? a mac only app and hardware that needs windows to work?

    I know. I replied accordingly.
