Agreed. Free markets will reign on this. The price is dictated by demand and if you’re having hundreds of thousands of downloads even at a $.99 level you’ll still be making a nice inflow of cash.

Besides, the only apps that are really hurting on the store are the ones that either don’t serve a purpose or the ones that didn’t take the effort to look like a fine piece of software.

I have a feeling that the developers who complains are the ones that develops for a living. They don’t like competition for people who create awesome apps in their spare time without the need to get money back for the time they spent. I don’t think they are used to areas where anyone could sell their software, but if they complain then they have the choice to stop using that area.

I’m not a developer myself but I completely agree with your statement. But perhaps to avoid all this hesitance that potential customers may have when purchasing, Apple should have the option of downloading a 1-day trial for every App, with the exception of FREE ones of course, so if it appeals to someone, theyâ��ll be more incline to paying full price on it based on their experience and not just on reviews and screenshots.
