I worked in enterprise software for a while, and I've seen people react more reasonably for a $20K app going EOL/Maintenance mode than for Sparrow.
I gotta say, Apple's App store model turned consumer software into a race to the bottom, and developers who want to price their software less than $10 had better be aware of what they're getting into from a customer expectations perspective.
- whileonebegin 14y agoAgreed. I actually think the App Store is Apple's biggest problem for future growth, because they're losing developers. I certainly don't want to write an app just to make $0.70 for a couple sales. Or if you're lucky, maybe charge $2.99. Seriously, what ever happened to software selling at $29.95? I'm hoping Windows 8 can bring some of that back.
- slantyyz 14y agoExactly, do you want to sell a hundred $1 apps to people who are a support nightmare or a single $100 app to someone who is potentially much more reasonable to deal with? I'll take the latter any day.
