You're underselling this hugely! $0.99 is far too cheap

  I agree that it's too cheap, but that's the state of thee app store. There tons of other apps that do the same thing + more for free (I was building something like this to pick light colors with my HUE lights).

  It was this price point that got me to buy it to try it out. If it were $1.99+ I probably wouldn't have. Psychological stuff...

    Yep. It's a sad state we're in. It's just too risky to pay more for an app from a publisher who is not well-known. All too often, installing an app for $3-5+ is disappointing when you discover the app is not what you were expecting. I rarely pay for apps, simply because I'd have paid thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a single phone, only to uninstall 95% of apps after discovering it was not for me. Is an in-app purchase required to offer something tangible? Instead of using ads and offering an in-app purchase to remove ads, I'd love to see cheap apps (ie: free or $0.99, without ads) with options for in-app purchases - maybe $3, $5, $10, $20 - that are nothing more than a voluntary donation to pay more for an app I find worthwhile. If I could volunteer to pay more for apps after using them for an extended period of time (fully unlocked, no trial gimmicks), I'd likely have spent a lot more money than I have thus far. I won't pay thousands for a bunch of crappy used-once apps, but I'd pay a few hundred for the bundle of apps I've kept.

      If I could get a refund if an app sucked I'd be infinitely more willing to try out random paid apps. Use the steam method if necessary, only auto-refund it if you've used it less than x hours
