I hope you've learned from how badly the initial Calibre Companion release was handled.
I absolutely love Marvin and while I do hope for continued development (for bug fixes and support for devices with new resolutions), I'd rather keep using the old version as-is than have it degenerate into the same state as CC.

- Recruit beta users to get broader community testing through Testflight; it may be possible to incentivize this with some sort of promotional subscription rate

- I'd rather the old releases be left alone as they are bugs and all (including the paid Marvin Classic and iPad-only versions). If the apps are resubmitted, it may not be possible to keep them entirely identical depending on current App Store submission policies.
- YES!!!!!!!!!! (with extra emphasis). Consider how Infuse is doing it. I actually pay for both in-app Infuse Pro lifetime sub on the main Infuse app as well as the standalone major release Infuse Pro apps for Family Share purposes. Mind, I actually paid for both Marvin 3 (as in-app upgrade) and the paid Marvin sxs app.
- Yes, I agree.
