Adobe Ideas Free Upgrade to Universal App?

Aug 29, 2012 1:08 PM

Tags: #ios #adobe_ideas

I have Adobe Ideas for iPhone Version 1.0.2. On the Info page, there is an announcement for the universal app. It reads: "The latest Adobe Ideas is now a universal app available for free as a new download."

 

How do I redeem this free upgrade? Everytime I go to the app store, it's $9.99.

 

Thanks and apologies for the stupid question. (I didn't know where to ask.)

    Adobe Ideas first started out as two separate applications - one for iPhone and one for iPad. Starting with version 1.2, the iPad version became a "universal binary" and supported both iPhone and iPad. Meanwhile, the iPhone-only version was discontinued.

     

    At the time of the 1.2 release, Ideas was a free application. More than 1.5 years ago, however, it has been a paid app. Unfortunately, because of  iTunes app store restrictions, there is no migration support from the iPhone-only version to the now current "universal binary"; you will need to purchase it.

     

    Hope that helps,

    Frank

    Frank, thanks for your response. So, I had the chance to upgrade to the free "universal binary" when version 1.2 was realeased? And, even though my iPhone 1.0.2 states I can still get the free upgrade, I cannot. Is that correct?

     

    I guess that I'm just confused by the false(?) wording that still exists on my Ideas app and disappointed that I failed to upgrade when I had the chance.

    You are correct. The wording on the version you have (Ideas 1.0.2 for iPhone) is now inaccurate. Ideas is no longer a free download.

     

    Sorry for the confusion.
