You can’t exchange data from 2 different apps, so the player has to redo the first 5 levels, or you make just 1 free app that can play 5 levels, and use IAP to unlock the other levels.

I think people would buy the full game quicker using IAP then when they have to redownload/purchase an app.

There are alternatives, but nothing in life is easy lol.

When they’re playing the free version, you could get the ID of the device, and put the lastlevelplayed info in an online database. Then when they play the full version, get the last level and voila. Not a simple solution though.

You can add a skip button so people can skip levels?

Or just unlock the first 5 levels from the start.

Just some ideas :slight_smile:
