Jun 3, 2013 5:29 AM in response to JinRayby lllaass,If the upgrade was an in-app purchases see:
iTunes Store: About In-App Purchases
If it was a separate app then redownload that app by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

That (an app no longer available) happens sometimes.
Your only way is if you have the appt on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case move it to your iTunes library and sync.

Jun 9, 2013 3:01 PM in response to lllaassby JinRay,I saved it under "Purchased" before restoring my device. The only place I have it in my computer is in my iTunes library under "Apps". I wish I hadn't restored my device.

Jun 9, 2013 3:27 PM in response to lllaassby JinRay,It is unfair though, isn't it? I mean I purchased it and now, I can't have the complete version simply because it's not available for download anymore. I deserve a refund.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Apple says:
- It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

Jun 9, 2013 3:41 PM in response to lllaassby JinRay,I thought iTunes would back it up for me since I simply upgraded to the complete version from the demo version of the game by paying the price. I did not redownload it or anything. Who would back up using a secondary storage device when they have iTunes for syncing everything? :/
