Greed and frustration in the app world
So I woke up this morning looking for a way to install a nav app on my playbook, sideloading google maps and Osmand in the process with both maps giving me a gps reading 280 kilometers from my exact location. Trying to fix the problem I visited the support page and was advised to use magellan compass to know my exact bearing and put it into google maps to see if its the fault of the map app. That's where the frustration started!
I had previously purchased and installed magellan Compass on my pb and have previously had to wipe my pb, but I just clicked the re-install button to redownload the app and was told that "the price of this application has changed" and I needed to re-purchase it at a different and higher price. My question Is why is this allowed in the app world market? I've fully paid for the old version, why do I need to pay full price for an upgrade without being able to keep what I have already paid for? This is the only app market that I've ever seen this. I believe this user also faced the same issues. I'll advice that if u currently have an old version of magellan compass, do not delete it or else you'll have to re-buy.
