If you are running an older OS or using an older version of one of our apps that is no longer for sale, then you may find yourself in a situation where there is a newer update available for the app you’re using but the App Store doesn’t provide it to you anymore. In these cases, to get the newer update, you’ll need to delete and reinstall the application.
Note: When we release a major new version of our apps, we normally remove the prior version from sale (e.g. OmniFocus 2 for Mac was removed from sale when OmniFocus 3 for Mac was released). The prior version of the app does still remain in the App Store, and can be re-downloaded from your list of Purchased apps. You won’t be able to find apps that aren’t for sale anymore doing a regular Search in the App Store.
As long as you are using the same Apple ID that you used for the original purchase, and are in the same country, the App Store will allow you to re-download any of your past purchases. Below are the steps to follow:
Mac
- Go to your Applications folder, and move your current copy of the app to the Trash.
- Open the App Store, and navigate to the Purchased area.
- In macOS 10.13 and earlier, tap the Purchased tab in the toolbar.
- In macOS 10.14 and newer, click
or your photo in the lower-left corner of the window.
- Locate our app in the list and click
. This should prompt the most current version to install.
iOS
- Back up any local data stored in the app (deleting the app will permanently remove any local data). To back up OmniFocus data, complete a sync. To backup data stored in the iOS versions of OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner or OmniPlan, either sync, email yourself a copy of documents, or transfer documents to your computer via iTunes.
- Delete the app from your iOS device Home Screen.
- Open the App Store, and navigate to the Purchased area.
- On iOS 10 and earlier, tap on Updates at the bottom of the screen, then tap on Purchased.
- On iOS 11 and newer, tap on Today at the bottom of the screen, then tap
or your photo in the upper-right corner. Tap Purchased on the next screen.
- Locate our app in the list and click . This should prompt the most current version to install.
- Open the newly installed version of the app on your iOS device. If you were previously syncing the application, reconfigure sync to regain access to your data. If manually backed up your data, you’ll need to manually add back that data into the updated copy of the app.
