> I kinda wonder if they shouldn't charge, say $100 to list an app on the App Store and $50-$100 per update too. It's going to cut down on scam apps and pay for enforcement. Sadly it would cut down on legit apps too. But it might be worth it overall. I don't think fees like this are a good idea. There is a lot of interesting/ free software out there which would be discouraged. Maybe just withholding payment on apps for the first 30 days until reviews start coming in and giving users better tools for reporting scam apps. I do however think reviewers should be given a more thorough check-list on apps which charge more than $20 or $10/ month. An app which suddenly gets a bunch of 1 star reviews should be a red flag and trigger a review as well.
