You know that we do offer substantial upgrade discounts on our own store, right?

I wouldn't have considered any of this an issue if you hadn't completely and suddenly pulled the plug on version 1. What happens then next time I restore my iPhone from iCloud?

You can restore OmniFocus 1 from your Purchased Apps list in the App Store.

What happens when version 7.x of iOS completely breaks it, and I'm held hostage to just buying version 2.

We're not selling version 1 anymore, but we're certainly still supporting it. In fact, we're working on some iOS 7 compatibility fixes for version 1 right now which we plan to submit to the App Store once they're ready.

It's not our intent to force people into upgrading to version 2 because version 1 stopped working for them; it's our job to make version 2 better and better until everyone using version 1 feels it's worth upgrading.
