The #1 Paid App: Koi Pond

[savanahrose]

I have heard this more than once. But if you have high blood pressure looking at an aquarium lowers the blood pressure. It looks nice and calming. I may just get it to see if it calms me down after working late at night so that I can get to bed at a decent hour.

This is a fantastic app (I don't own an iPhone, though). I mean, look what it shows: the iPhone is going to be huge - oh, wait, isn't it already?!

Think about it: $1 is as cheap as free for the buyer. Buyers won't feel it but the developer certainly will.

Would you pay $1 for every free app you use? I sure would. Most people would not see any difference between $1 and free. Think or how much a cup of coffee or a glass of beer would cost. Convinced?

Agreed - $1 is just 50p here. 50p gets you what, a bag of crisps? Can of Coke? When I get change at a shop, I usually end up tossing away up to 50p in change.

lol. I NEVER let it go. I'll let the baby go first! I learned that the hard way when he found my Rolex and threw it face down on the tile. $700 dollars later.... :-(

Rolex?

I bought this the other day. £0.59 isn't too bad at all. As good as free, but with that little bit of knowledge that the developer is getting something and is likely to put more hours into making a better product.

If you own an iPhone, own a Mac or anything else where you have realised that you pay for what you get, then this kind of system should work for you.

It boggles me that this is such a popular app.......I admittedly was sucked in and HAD to see it......what a waste of time.......sooooo boring.......Im gonna make an app where you watch sand in an hour glass or water dripping down a pane of glass.........probably sell huge.

It very well might. Grab the SDK before someone else thinks of it.



I've decided that .99 is the perfect price for ANY app.

I see so many priced at say, 5 to 10 dollars and think... 'yanno, if they sold it for 1 or 2 dollars, they'd make more money'.



It's kinda amusing how people who will spend 200-600 (depending on which iPhone version) a phone get all bent over an app costing more than 1 or 2 bucks.

Oh, a race to the first sand timer.

Agree. I wonder what the breakdown is between popularity verses app cost.

So true!
