naming problem with apps

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I just spent 3 months writing a game and I think I just shot myself in the foot when I uploaded to the app store.

I made a free version and a paid version. Wanted to avoid in-app purchase for now. I wanted to give them both the same name, the paid version would be “Frogs Tongue” and I wanted the free version to be “Frogs Tongue Free”… but through a series of dumb moves, I lost the ability to use the “Frogs Tongue Free” title because I deleted it and could then not reuse the name. So… I named the free version “Frogs_Tongue” (with an underbar). I uploaded both and then realized people will probably not be able to easily find the free version, because they won’t know about the hyphen in searching, and if they find the free version, they won’t be able to fine the paid version because it doesn’t have the hyphen.

Any suggestions. Am I dead in the water. I sent an email to itunes connect also, but who know when I’ll hear from them

That’s a pain but as culutas said, Frogs Tongue Lite is a GOOD name to use for the free version.

People instantly know what lite means, just like free, so no - you haven’t shot yourself in the foot :slight_smile:

When you say contact them to delete it, what are you trying to delete exactly? An app you already have up on the store? One that is waiting for approval? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 14266 reply_id: 52729[/import]

Deleting app prior to review…so its no problem. Thanks

  • Go to “Manage Your Applications”
  • Click on the application icon
  • Click on “view details” (below the icon on the screen you are now on)
  • Click “Binary details” near the top, in light blue text under “links”
  • Click “Reject binary” in the top right hand corner.

That will do it :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 14266 reply_id: 52852[/import]
