[QUOTE="Supermans, post: 12638, member: 678"] You can't redownload because the app no longer appears as an app in the itunes store as if it was deleted even though it will be back next week once they raise the price to 99 cents again. If you need to redownload the tables this week because you have the old free version, unfortunately you have only one option. You can ask apple's itunes store for a refund of the free version tables you bought and then you can repurchase all of them again once you get the refund in 5 to 7 days or immediately if you don't mind paying twice temporarily. The good news is the Free version that has been removed this week will have better reviews than the 99 cent one when it returns. I think making the paid version free without marketing exactly what is free about it has created all of the problems with the bad reviews it has been getting. What Farsight should have done is advertise their 99 cent table you get when you purchase the app is Tales of Arabian Knights and explain in the description they are giving away this table which is worth normally 99 cents and that all the other tables are not free, but all are playable up to a certain point an unlimited amount of times. So many one star reviews because people were expecting a free app and instead get ads thrown in and most of the tables with the buy screen showing up and a login screen for facebook. Both are annoying to the average person. Also, most cannot appreciate the hard work that goes into emulation. The other inferior pinball apps will have better reviews and more stars because of this. What Farsight should have done is have their free version be the one advertised and perhaps giving away one of the downloadable packs. If that was done, there would have been much better reviews and the publicity would have been better. So far what has occured I do not see it as a positive. Also, the little icon for the game should be Tales of Arabian Knights so as not to confuse new people downloading the game during this promotion. Then switched back after it is done. Overall having two versions of practically the same game was a bad idea considering the way the appstore is run. [/QUOTE]
