Great app, but... – Files - File Manager & Browser Review

I used the original “Downloads” app by this developer ever since iOS 4 or 6 I believe, and it served as a great place to store all kinds of files, such as ISO’s, ZIPs, MP3s, etc. I was even shocked when it worked in iOS 10 with the 7 Plus. However I was sad to see that it wasn’t compatible with iOS 11, and so I had to remove it. Found out about “Files,” and I thought, okay cool. It looks like it works with iOS 11. So I downloaded it and expected something totally different. It was the exact same interface and usability, so I had two thoughts: 1. If it’s the exact same design and such, why not just update the old app to work with iOS 11? 2. When I downloaded the old app and purchased the full version of it, why should I have to pay for the full version of a carbon copy app, at two dollars more? I know that’s not how the App Store works but you should give those that have been concurrent users a break. Overall it’s a great app to store files in and a great music player since it has background support, especially with the file access through both iTunes and through a local browser wirelessly. But the $4.99 full version upgrade feels like a stab in the back for having bought the previous app’s full version.
