Very odd. First it says there's an update..but then when you go to update is says app not in the store. Then later the update flag goes away but the app is never updated. The App Store appears to have some bugs in it even after all these years. Also, they have a very ponderous process for getting apps into the store. One would think that if they are so cautious about allowing apps in the store that an app once put there isn't going to suddenly get pulled for no reason.

"The item you tried to buy is no longer available." Why?!?!?!?!

Interesting for the item no longer available message. I went into the app store on my iPhone 6+ and had the cloud next to it because I had previously downloaded. Worked for me, I'm in the US.

Roll out messy on App Store. Have update notification with it seen in AppStore. Go to update same as everyone else: Item not found. VLC puts out second to none products most of the time and now it says in the development notes it supports PLEX Servers. A secret wish I've had for a while. Now they need Chromecast support. I sure hope they figure out the hang up and it's not a Cease and Desist on something so small as a compression codec by some patent troll.
