Its interesting to see the discussion here, especially seeing that its going "the price tag side".
Let's clarify a few things here.
1. Reg the price
Be it Slide Reader or any other app, there is a lot of effort and work that goes into making such useful products. There is often a team involved, resources,talent and a lot of thinking that goes into the process. Lets say its a team effort. And the primary objective of any app is to provide a good user experience, to fulfill a need to be useful to someone. And this involves various inputs and hence the price tag.
2. Reg: competition
We do not want to comment on the other apps out there, and speculate on whether they are good or bad. In fact, they're all good. They're all built with the motive of helping someone, making our lives easier. We've used most of them ourselves and the need of creating another app came out of it. There were certain things we needed to tweak, certain features we wished for, and certain things we thought would be cool. So we build an app around it and voila ! We have SlideReader.
3. The SlideReader price
When pricing this product we really thought about a lot of things. The most important one was NOT about competition but about how we could make this app better than the ones out there. Not surprisingly, we figured out that to offer a rich and pleasurable experience, we had to get more resources, more time on the codes, more time and energy - on an ongoing basis. Clearly, we didn't want to compromise on the quality of the app, the features or the overall experience. We wanted to give all we could to make this product a better one if not the best out there.
And we hope we've done a decent job at it. We use other apps too, and we understand why some of them are priced lower while other not. Its all based on the resources,time and energy that goes into the overall quality of the product.
We strongly believe that Slide Reader's price is justified, and are sure that we'd put in the maximum efforts from our side to ensure the best experience for our users.
We're excited to hear from our early users that they're proud about buying Slide Reader, and the price is justified for the product. We're here to do our best to make sure they get the best experience out of it with more features, more tweaks, more functions and a better experience.
Thanks all for the support and inputs. Appreciate it.
