His last paragraph shows how strongly app prices are anchored to $0.99. He describes how he used the app for tens or hundreds of hours and saw life-changing benefits. The training seemed to take 10 years off his eyes, maybe enough to delay reading glasses for years.
Then he writes:
> As apps go, GlassesOff is not cheap. I paid $24.99 for three months of use — long enough to get me through the initial program. Upon completion, I was invited to pay another $59.99 per year for maintenance training.

Looks like the only improvement he got was reported by the very application that he was using. Quote: "Yet, after a couple of months, the app reports I can read fonts nearly one third the size I could when I started and much more rapidly. According to feedback from GlassesOff, my vision after training is equivalent to a man about 10 years younger than my age "
- Invictus0 9y agoThe key phrase here is "as apps go". I have never paid $25 for an app, and neither have most people. This pie chart sucks but it seems to imply that < 5% of apps are $19 or more: http://blog.scottlogic.com/2014/03/20/app-store-analysis.html http://blog.scottlogic.com/2014/03/20/app-store-analysis.htm...
