Thanks for answering, b.t.w! Though it seems that my topic perhaps was a bit unclear

My question was more like a hypothesis: ”What would happen if”.

It’s not that i’m “dependent” of a ”silly” app on the ipad or something. It’s just that i like it because of it’s quality.

i thought it was good to lift this topic in a forum for “digital dj’s” (not that we’ll ever be able to do anything about apple’s random policy changes) and see if somebody realized that this problem does exists, and/or is checking the facts what is available, especially when some of the best dj-apps out there, actually, is, and has been for a while, free, lol 🙂

I think you are both wrong and right in what you say about the ”you are only having the right to use the software”. It’s not like psysical CD’s for example)

When we are talking about using software on a desktop computer that did not originate from the apple store, you actually own your software, free or paid for, and you can do what you want. if it’s a great version of an audio-editor,for example, in theory, if something better hasn’t been developed, you could be using it for a decade (i know examples of people doing that, too).

It’s just that apple has made it technically more difficult in iOS9, blaming the ”App Thinning” as a reason… for not beeing able to save a local copy of your app.

I have been investigating a little more now, and there are actually desktop software that let’s you make a proper backup (not like one the cloud) of your free software, including the app itself and not only the data…, but it is only possible as long as you are staying on iOS8. It seems that this topic was one that not really anyone was interesting in, so…

Lesson: Sometimes/often it’s wise to not automatically update things just because one assume that something better will follow with the next version.

When it comes to software, its not always like that, unfortunately, because new bugs are introduced with each version, and everything will have to be tested as new, by the developer again, which cost time and money and not everybody does that, including apple themselves.. now letting us, the users test their OS for them.
