Download all the Apple Store applications for free with a trial of 24 hours?


We showed you the new category called Apple's "Try Before You Buy" which collects the Lite versions of applications and games AppStore most beautiful and popular, they deserve to be tested. The idea is liked by many and was also taken as a cue to ask Apple to add the ability to have the trial of 24 hours every application.



In essence, instead of having all the Lite versions are limited, the idea would be to implement a new API nell'AppStore to start a sort of hidden timer so as to be able to download anything for free, then buy it later .

How does the service

1. You should be able to download any application for free, getting a complete application.
2. As soon as you start the application for the first time, it should start a timer
3. At the end of the trial period, you should see a menu to purchase the full version.
4. If you were to accept pop-ups, the application would remain on the device would otherwise be automatically removed.

All these improvements also voting in AppStore, giving the user the ability to assess the full and final.

Benefits

This method would benefit almost everyone:

  •  For consumers: you will all be much happier and fulfilled as a chance to try a full application for 24 hours gives a much more higher than the Lite version with 10 minutes of gameplay.
  •  For developers: will simplify things and you should not carry more segregated and restricted versions of each application.
  •  For Apple: It would get much more sensible and download greatest potential to purchase.
Reflection

Proper implementation of these APIs could also block piracy, a bit like going to the In-App Purchase. Perhaps giving the possibility to download complete applications, the first thing you think is that it can end immediately and effortlessly on hacker sites, however, whether the activation of a game, after the trial of 24 hours, happen through a communication with servers and Apple's control over your Apple ID, probably there would be no more hope for the crackers.

Ultimately what you think of this idea? Would you like to see implemented by Apple?
