Creating a free version of your App

Hey everyone, i have just completed a fitness app that i am selling, but i also want to have a free version, is there a way to duplicate the app i have made and just take out the parts i dont want to give away for free or do i have to make another entire app? thanks for your feedback.

It sounds like two different apps because you need to put different screens on the apps. Thanks, Adam

There are a couple of ways to approach it. You can either create a 'lite' version of your app which is basically creating a new app with less content, or continue with your existing app, and use an 'in app purchase' to 'unlock' features. That said, I've never done it. I know there is an 'in app' plugin that will facilitate, or assist in facilitating in app purchases, but again, never done it. Cheers! -- Smug
