在应用程序购买和试运行?

问题描述:

我正在为免费提供30天内容的客户构建应用,之后您需要通过应用商店购买购买订阅。

I am building an app for a client that will have 30 days of content for free, thereafter you are required to buy a subscription via in app store purchases.

但是,我已经读过,如果你有审判,你将被拒绝。

However, I have read that you will get rejected if you have trials.


不要为你的任何功能设置时间限制app,运行时间或生命时间
。只运行一个
每个会话的分钟数的应用程序,或者在
一段时间之后完全到期的应用程序,不会招募客户,因为他们口中留下了不好的味道

Don’t set time limits on any of the functionality of your app, either for run times or life times. Applications that only run for a set number of minutes per session, or that expire altogether after some period of time, don’t recruit customers so much as leave a bad taste in their mouths.

最后,他们还说如果发现有app应用程序审核小组会将您的应用程序返回给您时间限制。

Finally, they also say "your app will be returned to you by the App Review Team for modification if it is found to have time limits".

这看起来很奇怪,因为我知道卫报和所有主要的报纸应用程序功能有限。

This seems odd because I know the Guardian and all major newspaper apps have limited functionality.


  • Guardian应用程序是免费的,但您的功能有限?

  • 每日应用是免费的,但您必须支付每日订阅
    并且在订阅期间功能有限。

  • 泰晤士报应用程序是免费的,但是免费试用(各种各样)(大量
    投诉)

还有其他一些例子似乎与Apple的政策不同。

There are other examples which seem to differ from Apple's policies.

假设您有一个免费的应用程序,但是您必须支付订阅才能获得访问权限;然而根据规则,这被认为是有限的功能 - 但是有很多报纸应用程序正是这样做的。

Lets say you have an app that is free, but then you have to pay for subscriptions to gain access; however according to the rules this is considered limited functionality -- yet there are lots of newspaper apps that do exactly that.

我很困惑。

有人可以澄清情况吗?应用程序可以试用吗?

Can someone clarify the situation? Can apps have trials?

谢谢

很难澄清情况,因为不幸的是,准则并不一定是一成不变的。它们可以而且确实因应用和出版商而异。

It is difficult to clarify the situation because unfortunately the guidelines are not necessarily set in stone. They can and do vary on an app and publisher basis.

在泰晤士报和每日报的案例中,这两个应用都是由新闻集团制作的。据说新闻集团对苹果的影响力要大于制作iPhone游戏的单人开发商店。苹果公司不愿意承认这一点,但有明显的商店流行应用程序不符合指南的情况,他们默默地做了例外。

In the case of The Times and The Daily, both apps are produced by News Corp. It is perhaps safe to say that News Corp has a good deal more influence with Apple than a one-man development shop producing an iPhone game. Apple would be loath to admit it, but there are clear cases of popular apps on the store that don't conform to the guidelines, where they have tacitly made an exception.

所以我要对你说的是:明智的。当您的试用期结束时,没有自动退出的应用。想想用户可以接受什么。这是一个没有冒险的事情,没有任何收获。冒险,在有限的试用版中提交您的应用,看看会发生什么。

So what I would say to you is this: be sensible. Don't have an app that quits automatically when your trial runs out. Think about what would be acceptable to users. It's very much a case of nothing ventured, nothing gained. Take a risk, submit your app with your limited trial, and see what happens.
