If you're whining about the $.99 fee for Keynote remote, you clearly have no business giving Keynote presentations.

I'm not trying to mock you or be disrespectful to the app writers, but who would pay 15$$ to a freekin chat program? :S Especially when there are other alternatives for free...

I felt the same way at a point, but got Beejive when it was on sale (something like $9.99). The difference between Beejive and those other crappy free applications is amazing. Beejive is as polished, attractive and professional as some of the great Macintosh desktop applications, incredibly easy to use, and as stable as a rock. If a person does a lot of chat on their iPhone, Beejive would be a marvelous investment.

I agree, It does the job well, better then any other im app. Fells almost like a computer app then a mobile app at times. I beleive its one of the best apps in the app store. Just doesnt have high ratings because people complain that the price is to high....

Beejive has a rating of 4 1/2 stars. That's a pretty kick-ass rating for the application's price! And when you read the feedback nearly everyone is raving about how wonderful the app is, not about how expensive it is.

Well, last time I saw the reviews, you had those 14 year olds complaining.... this was a few months back...

iToner 2 from Ambrosia Software ... includes 40 bundled ringtones. ... A free trial is also available.

I've downloaded the trial and there are no bundled ringtones in it or maybe I couldn't find them. And the Ambrosia Software website makes my Safari (MBP) crash reliably.

Because some of use have real full time jobs. After spending all that time at work, the last thing I want to do is mess around with something that can be accomplished more quickly with some relatively inexpensive software. It costs less than a medium pizza delivered so I don't see what you are whining about.

Apparently you haven't even tried the iTunes way and are just trying to defend your own purchase of iToner. As many other people have said, it takes the same amount of effort and time(once you've done it once) to accomplish what iToner charges $15 for...only an idiot would buy it without trying the iTunes solution first. As long as iToner has been around there has been a solution that worked simply using iTunes and a little file renaming.

I don't understand what Apple gets for pricing the Keynote remote at .99. Do they really need the money that bad? It should be FREE. Or, if it is such a good app, they should price it at 9.99 or something. In between prices for smaller developers is good, but for Apple, they just need to include it with iWork 09

If they included it people would bitch about that "they surely are paying 5 USD for it whilst they NEVER EVER will want it or will need to use it".... duh.

How someone can complain about a 99 cent piece of software is totally beyond me. The solution for you is so incredibly simple that I don't understand why you didn't think of it yourself instead of complaining here - Don't buy it!! Alternatively, write it yourself for less money (good luck).

Case closed.

The way I see apps is simple. If you don't want to pay for them, don't. But don't complain about quality or lack of quality apps. Especially when you are talking about a cheap .99 cent app.
