Frequently asked questions
Q: I bought an upgrade on one of my devices. How do I get it on the others?
A: You can install your upgrades on multiple devices if you log into the devices with the same app store account. When the upgrade list opens,
tap the Reinstall button, then wait for the upgrades to download from the
app store. This could take a minute or more. When your upgrades appear,
tap Cancel. Alternatively, you can select the upgrades and continue the
process of purchasing them again; when you submit your purchase, the store will recognize that you've already purchased them and will not charge
you.
Q: I bought the app for one platform. Can I get it on other platforms for free?
A: No, you must buy the app separately for each platform. Technically, there is no way to credit your purchases from different distributors (Apple, Google or Amazon). Philosophically, it's fair to buy the app separately for each platform, since I have to repeat my development work for each platform. If you plan to use the app on multiple platforms, check out BandHelper, which includes unlimited installations on all supported devices as part of your subscription cost.
Q: When I try to buy an upgrade on iOS, I see an error message
that the app can't connect to the App Store, or the app crashes. What should
I do?
A: Open your Settings app, choose Store, tap your Apple ID,
and sign out. Then go back to Set List Maker and try again, entering your
iTunes password when prompted. This resolves most login problems. If that doesn't help, you can try contacting iTunes Store support, or just wait a day or two and try again. These connection problems seem to appear occasionally and then go away again.
Q: When I try to buy an upgrade on iOS, I see an error message
that I can't buy the upgrade until I buy the application first. What does
this mean?
This means you originally installed the app from one iTunes
account and now you're logged into a different iTunes account. To proceed,
sign out of iTunes as described above. Then try again, making sure you enter
the same iTunes username that you used when you originally installed the
app.
Q: When I launch the app on Android, I see a message that I am not logged into a Google account that purchased the app. How can I fix this?
First, you can open the Google Play app and make sure you are logged in with the same account you used to purchase the app. If you are, this is a problem with Google's licensing server, which authorizes the use of purchased apps. You can visit Google's help page on this issue and follow the troubleshooting steps. If those don't fix the problem, you can click the Contact Us button on that page to contact Google. If Google can't help you, I can temporarily register you as a beta tester to give you access to the app through that system.
Q: Why can't I just pay one price for the full app? I hate being nickle-and-dimed with in-app purchases.
I don't like in-app purchases, either. They're hard to manage and generate extra tech support requests. However, I want to keep the initial cost of the app low so that new users can try it out with less risk, and in-app purchases are the best way to do that. (The app stores don't allow trial periods for apps. They do allow separate apps for free and paid versions, but then you'd have to deal with migrating your data from the free version to the paid version.) If you are logged into your store account, it only takes a moment to make an in-app purchase. If you really don't like in-app purchases, check out BandHelper, which uses a subscription business model instead.
