The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How does iTunes App Store handle trial versions?

Asked by GLComputing in iTunes Software, iPhone, iPod

Tags: Apple, App Store, iTunes

We work with a product (Handheld Contact - www.GLComputing.com.au/HHC) that syncs ACT! by Sage data on to smart phones, that we have been doing for the Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices for some years that is about to be released for iPhone (and maybe iTouch) and are discussing with the vendor to get it on iTunes App Store.

The the product is sold as a service... currently, people download a trial which operates for 14-days and, when satisfied, purchase s subscription.

The Apple developer license says no charge for free downloads and a % to Apple for paid... but as we don't charge at download, how does the licensing work?

As the software is free and fully functional to download and install, but they have to pay for a service to use it beyond 14-days, does Apple regard this as free (therefore no charge for us to put it on iTunes) or commercial (we have to pay them a %). If the later, how do they determine the charges?

This is our first solution for iPhone / iTouch, so would welcome any views on this
