This App Store “Free for a Limited Time Only” Funkiness
I admit I am a cheapskate, that’s why I wait there like a scavenger for a free app to drop their prices down to free, so I could devour each of them wholly.
Of course it’s legal. They are the ones who made their softwares free, but recently, there’ve been too much price drops, it came to a point when it’s super annoying.
This is a phenomenon that mimic’s iShoot’s move to have their app a “Lite” version, thus giving more exposure to the main, full-featured app. Some of the apps really got my attention, the negative way. They are somewhat hideous and I really asked myself if I’d really pay a dollar for something as clunky as what I saw in the App Store. The only app I won’t badmouth about is iSteam. My parents and relatives love it. I even saw my grand-aunt’s saliva on the home button (yeah I know, it’s disgusting) as she blows that part for more steam (Kirei had a lot of cleaning up to do before I even touch her).
I also like the fish-catching app, “Gone Fishin’”. My brothers and sisters piled up just to catch a glimpse of that big catch.
Maybe I’m just annoyed because of this trend in the App Store gets more tacky than expected…
Or maybe this is what I deserve for being a cheapskate (How I wish Philippine itunes members could use Paypal as payment, arghhh!).
