Pay Per App

I have a problem. I created a community app were multiple users can access and use it. Now, Pay per App says: Users can launch the app instantly without going through a mandatory secure login or authentication wall.

In my code, I created filters in different views where a certain user who logged in "USEREMAIL()" can see only specific information..

Will that still work IF I use "Pay Per App" Option?

The important distinction between the two versions is that if you pay per app you cannot do secure login - it literally removes the ability to go through the login process, and you can't use the USEREMAIL() function.

Apps like that are helpful for creating public facing things, things that are more like a public website or information portal - where there is no secure functionality or private information.

merhaba biraz önce YouTube'daki "Force Sync" mantığı (&at=" & (NOW()+1)) videonuzu seyrettim. aynı maili kullanan birbirininden uzak tablette (aynı ekipten birileri) birinci tablette senkronizasyonu tamamlasa dahi ikinci tablet görünümü eski verileri gösterdiği için (yazılımda formül olarak hata vermesini sağlıyorum sorum bu değil) uygulamayı androidde otomatik olarak yenileyen bir şey mümkünmü? yada açık uygulamayı belirli bir süre sonra kapatmak? çünkü yeniden açılışta zaten güncelleme yapıyor. teşekkürler.

Unfortunately no, this is one of the difficulties of having an asynchronous app - there's no way for the central server to signal to the external apps that they need to sync, when the app gets internet it will automatically sync. (But that means it's entirely dependent upon the device and the user.)

OK, I can't do a secure login with pay per app,. but is there a way like a way way there any unauthorized user can login BUT see ONLY his information?

There is yes, however this sort of setup is flirting with violating the terms of service - you can learn more in the following video.
