Would you buy more apps?

Would you buy more apps if you could try them first?

There's an app in the app store that i want but its $19.99. The reason i haven't bought it yet, is because if it sucks ill be mad i threw 19.99 down the drain. I wish the apps had a trail period, if all the apps had this i might buy more apps than i do now.

Omnifocus? If you're a fan of the desktop version get it.

You can try many of them at the Apple Store. Granted, it's not as good as a trial period, but it's better than going in blind. Somewhat ironically, I actually received an email about this today...

No it's Beatmaker.

I agree a trial version would be nice. More developers need to put out a trial or lite version.

Agreed, all though thankfully a lot of the apps are so inexpensive that it's not *too* bad a blow if the app isn't what a person expected.

The Apps that would really benefit from this are the expensive ones - like over $10. I'm sure they would sell more copies too if we could test drive them. Otherwise, we'll just sit on the side-line waiting for ourselves to have a weak moment and just buy it - which may never happen for some. It probably would also increase the quality of the Apps too. If people test drive an App and see it's crap, then the app isn't going to sell at all. The developer would be forced to make a very smooth looking and functioning app.

I dont mind the .99 apps, but when the apps are 19.99 i think twice before buying them. I think i seen not to long ago that some apps were about 15-20.00 were coming out. If i bought an app that was that much and i thought it was a waste of money i might not want to buy any more expensive apps at all.

Most free apps are a waste of money too.

Duh! No brainer for me. $.99 - on up, need a tester before buying...

Do you know if different games are on different iPhones in the Apple Store or how the demo's work?

What is this a joke poll? Of course people would rather try an app out first before buying them......what did you think the responses would be?

Waste of bandwidth, like that sound grenade and fart apps.

Apple is very good. But I haven't enough money. So it is too expensive to me. So far I never buy any product of apple. But I like apple.

This should be a no-brainer for most developers when it comes to their apps. I rarely buy an app anymore unless if I absolutely know that it is worth it and that I will use it for more than a week or two. I bought SuperMonkey Ball and CroMag Rally when they were both released and those two together put me back $20, Cro-Mag is alright now, and is worth the $2 pricetag that is has now, but if there were a trial version when it was $10, I wouldn't have bought it, and I still wouldn't buy SuperMonkey Ball no matter what the price. Lite versions have both convinced me to buy and not to buy apps. I think that this is a no-brainer when it comes to developers.
