Re: [android-developers] Re: How to: Free to Paid App and retain preference and db files?

Yes, I have additional features for the paid version but was thinking to maintain the Ads in the free version.

So you are suggestion to completely remove the Ads for free and focus on the Paid version for incentive?

My suggestion, as a fellow developer, is to give it some thought, rather than assuming that ads are some kind of Eleventh Commandment.

In-app billing, or a separate unlocker app, seems like an easier free-to-premium migration path than two separate apps. So, losing some on the ads, you might gain some in the upsell conversion ratio.

As an Android *user*, though, I really dislike apps with ads.

The idea of "irritate the user until he agrees to pay" just seems wrong to me.
