Yes, because this is a feature you and everyone else has been requesting since day 1.

Apple really needs to add an easy way to run public app betas! Perhaps the developer could put their beta on the App Store and be issued with an ID code which members of the public can input in the same area as where you redeem an iTunes voucher - when you put the code in, a warning is displayed and then the beta is downloaded. The app could expire when the beta period is finished.
Yay Apple, thanks.
Also, once again EA and Firemonkey's are screwing us Aussies that develop and build their game out of credits. I really can't believe that the IAPs are still as high as they are for this game. They must be making some serious coin.

Yes but what if no one ever has thought about it or requested it. Consumers as well as Apple. Why is Apple late or slow?
Great, another way to get people addicted to those stupid games where you have to pay to win.
If you get one of those coupon codes, the best thing you can do is throw it away and never use it. Trust me, you'll save money in the long run.

There are six iOS devices on my iCloud account. Four of them belong to an 11-year-old or a 5-year-old. They are able to download free apps only. In addition, I can't stand apps that constantly hit me up with IAP. I delete them. If you want to have a paid and a free version, so be it. I don't want an app to keep asking to tell my friends on Facebook and I don't want to buy more whatever inside the app.
I'm happy to see this.
Also not sure why such the hate towards freemium apps. For me, it's much better than buying a game for $60 on ps3/4 xbox 360/one and then having to buy maps, cars, clothes, guns, ammo, etc. for $10 a pop every couple months. In both cases, if you want it, buy it, if you don't want it, you can still beat the game without it. Must just be bad because it's Apple doing it. Or maybe people just upset they can't buy a full game for 99 cents anymore.

Who cares, won't play any games with in app purchases like they have now. EA killed Real Racing 3 when they went Pay 2 Win I'll gladly give my money to good games that sell at one rate for everything like XCom, Final Fantasy games, or any others like that. Pay 2 Win needs to die, but it won't, the dark ages of gaming are here.

Why can't I still not gift an app to my Dutch friend?
I live in Germany, we both have Euros as currency, the app is priced the same in both countries and of cause available in both as well.
This is ridiculous.

Yes because developers' time is free.
Their education was free. Their training was free. Their raison d'etre is to take a vow of poverty to satisfy your entertainment lust. I could never understand why somebody who could afford a $2000 computer, or now a $600 tablet, could not afford to pay $1 for a song or $10 for a decent game.
I reminisce about the times of working to buy my own computer while in high school, and working to save up to by SC2KURK or Myth or Heroes of Might&Magic. $40 for games that inflation-adjusted would be $60+ now. Yet people whine about having to pay $5 for a full game on iPad? Roll up your sleeves, get a job, and enjoy the game that you worked for, that you earned. Thank you, and you will thank me for this advice later.

Don't get me wrong I could afford lot of stuff but it's the principle
I'm a developer and it doesn't work for me. I've generated 3 codes for my free app (with IAP ), but I didn't have a chance to choose what they were going to be for...
), but I didn't have a chance to choose what they were going to be for...
Yeah was much better when we could pay $50 for a game upfront and one out of ten of them did not suck. We only spent $500 per good game then.
Now with this newfangled ability to not pay any money to games you don't enjoy, pick and choose how and when you spend your money and on what games we really are being screwed.
We would all be much better off if all mobile games were 25 dollars with no refunds! Get off my lawn

Perhaps he previously had ambien fueled in app spending sprees that put his mortgage payment in jeopardy?
Just one possibility.
Lots of freemium games are not pay to win.

I think the later is the issue. When people say they just want it pay once for a game they mean 99 cents. Not an actual price that supports a quality game culture. I would much rather be able to pick and choose what I pay for versus paying $15-$25. I don't pay any money to pay to win titles.
