When you make your iPhone app free from paid does it appear on the 'new' list?

Question

I'm just curious, if I have an app that's paid on the store and has been for months if I switch it to 'free' does it go back on the 'new releases' list for free apps or does it just get switched to free wherever it is?

Answer 1

No, the price will simply change. Changing the price will remove your app from the Top Listings though (if in it).

If you want your app to appear in the Newly Released list, then release an update to your app.

Answer 2

No it does not, seeing as you are only changing the price of any existing app. Where as if you released a 1.1 then it would be considered a new release.
