Well, the thread is about "App Store Improvements". That's the title of the post. Also, I AM a mobile developer... I mostly browse the web on my iPad. I use very few premium apps. Procreate was the last one that I purchased. Anyway - please explain to me why should I pay $4.99 for a simple network utility that lets me do PING, NSLOOKUP, TRACEROUTE, etc? Do you really have a problem if I spend my time searching for a free app that doesn't have ads before I decide to buy one? And why do you think I should be responsible for supporting developers who spent a whole week building some low-hanging-fruit app? As a matter of fact, I know how to build both native and hybrid iOS apps, so sometimes if I can't find an app I just build it myself. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with that. Well, except for Apple. I don't like Apple very much so I avoid giving them any money at all if I can. I always buy used or refurbished Apple hardware from Amazon, Ebay and other places and I think long and hard before purchasing any iOS app since Apple gets 30%.
