I am about to submit an app to the app store for approval. I have a question regarding the app price.
Can I change the app from paid to free or from free to paid at any time? I have noticed that some paid apps have a promotion were the app is free for a limited time and I am considering using the same strategy if I can research it enough .
If I first write a free app and it's approved by App Store, can I sometime later change it to a paid app?
If I can do so, how does app store process the update? For example, if a user downloads my app when it's free can they update the app later when it is no longer free?

Once your app has been offered for free, the app can't be changed to paid. If you want to charge for the app, you need to create a new app with a new package name and set a price.
Yes, you can change the price whenever you like. When a user downloads the app, whether it is paid or free, they get updates for free. They never have to pay again unless you add an in-app purchase into your app.
Gaming, education, business, and utility apps generally do well as paid apps, since the value is in the app's functionality. What types of apps do well with the freemium model? Apps that become more valuable with a larger user base, like social networking apps, should consider freemium.
