I just created an update that will replace that app bit I am going to increase the amount to 1.99$ my question is this: will the exsisting users have to pay .99 cents to get the update?

Not to sound money hungry but is there any options to somehow get an extra $ or so other than putting a donate button in there? Comments Darn, I worked so hard on this update...

Keep your current app as 'lite'. 2) New content as an 'In app purchase'. Sorry there isn't much else… Cheers! -- Smug Comments I could be wrong, but I'm thinking your options are really only two: 1) Release it as a different app, for a higher price.

And it's really only fair to the end user...if they've already bought the app, unless it's a totally new version, or you update it to include In App Purchase content, then they really should get all updates for free. That's a software standard. Mark Comments Yep, Smug is correct.
