Any takers? Isn't this along the same lines as "I Am Rich" app? Or, am I missing something?

What the heck is up with those colors? Seriously, what's the point of this app?

I'll be shocked if someone bought this during their early release
at their ridiculous price tag.

Oh, goody. It's already on sale for $29.99. Now I'm definitely going to buy it...yeah, right. This app is a slap in the face to all the other developers that spend their precious time carefully producing something decent and then selling it for cheap.

Well it is only 4.99 now and I still cannot think of a reason to buy it.

What a strange app.
It's gone from AU$59.99 to $5.99 in less than 36 hours.

Apparently I saw two reviews from the US App Store, so that means they bought it :eek: However none of them provided a detailed review

Well, first, they're morons for buying it. Second, they really can't give a detailed review because all it seems to be is a clock with an ugly symbol/art.

The stupid circle thing is supposed to be an easy way to see the time, date and day of the week with a quick glance. I don't believe that, but its what they claim.

I think it would be easier to just read the time... but that's just me.

I think that this was just made to see how many idiots out there actually buy it at a high price.
And $4.99 quallifies as high for this app.
I don't know why anybody would ever download a clock app, whether it be free or not, because it take you about .21 seconds to look up an inch from the center of the screen to the top of the toolbar for the time.

I doubt Apple puts much time into approving those apps.
They have 10,00+ apps, most likely there is a handful they don't monitor.
Or maybe Apple doesn't care since there isn't a loss on their part.
