On: Google will stop calling games 'free' when they offer in-app purchases

[slipstream-]

Came here to say this. I guess that if devs want their games to be listed as free they'd need to have two versions of the app, a free ad-supported version and a paid ad-free version, instead of using IAP.

I have actually seen devs do this, but I can't remember any exact cases.

I feel like its pretty common to see both. I see the advantage in using the IAP though since you get to aggregate your ratings and reviews in one place.

Angry Birds was that way at some point, IIRC. Haven't looked in a long time though.
