- MiguelHudnandez 14y agoNope, I thought it was worth $1 the day before and I would still think it is a nice feature. I'd blame Apple for that for being so opaque or for not including it in the first place. The developer is not the problem in my eyes -- they just made an awesome feature for my phone. Perhaps most customers have a different stance than I do, though.
- thought_alarm 14y agoWell, Apple's saving you the dollar. You can be angry at them for that or not, but it's easy for me to see why they're doing it.
- angryasian 14y agowhy are you assuming only apple can deliver a premium experience.
- jodrellblank 14y agoYears of experience using computers lends a lot of weight to that suggestion.
- mikeash 14y agoYou purchase this app, then the next day somebody else announces the same feature as a third-party app for free. It's not Apple's concern whether people feel ripped off over third-party apps. They'll let you do all kinds of crazy things, like keep old versions on the store and still charge for them even after a new version comes out, or totally nerf a new version while allowing no way for people to downgrade.
