i purchased Textilus. Now, in order to get the 6.0 upgrade, there is an additional charge. Most of my pay apps have always given updates for free. does this seem unusual? What happens if another upgrade becomes available, is charging for them acceptable?
iPad Mini, iOS 8.4.1
Many apps I have purchased charge for upgrades. For example, Adobe charges for PhotoShop upgrades which appear roughly once a year.
Software developers typically get paid for their work. This seems perfectly reasonable to me. And you get the benefit of improved software.

IF you are talking about this app, then there are in app purchases required in order to upgrade.

An upgrade is not an update. Many free apps have charges associated with upgrading to the full ad-free versions.
I did not get the free version. I got the paid one. I used the wrong terminology it was update not upgrade. By the time I would pay to update, it would be more than the Pages app, I already have that never charges more for updates.
I Have Adobe Photoshop Touch for the IPad and have never been charged when they update the app. Your upgrades are computer ones...not IPad/IPhone Apps. Yes, when I upgrade graphic software on my computer, I do pay...but my IPad app updates are usually free.
Well, here is a point of confusion. I think Demo (as always) posted an excellent response.
You said "In order to get the 6.0 upgrade ...". This sounds like a key point.
There are two apps that we seem to be discussing. Textilus - the basic product - sells for US$5.99. But, it is still at version 5.5.5! And this version was just posted two days ago.
There is another app, called Textilus Pro, which sells for US$9.99. Its version is currently 6.1, which was posted three days ago.
So I suspect you are talking about buying the Textilus to Textilus Pro Upgrade Bundle, which sells for US$11.99, and gives you the latest versions of both products.
Do you need Textilus Pro? Check it out before acting.
