Developers are charging far too much for apps without having demos. I have contacted quite a number of developers to let them know that if the application costs over $5 and doesn't have a demo ... the chances of me buying it are slim to none.
It drives me totally nuts that developers won't release demos. If your product is good enough, then people will buy it based on playing it for a few minutes. If they instantly realize its crap, then you need to put more work into making a better product. Stop scamming people into giving you money when refunds are very difficult.
Developers also seem to think that people will be willing to pay more for iPad apps. With me, this is not the case. Not to mention, I am not going to pay for the same application AGAIN just for increased resolution.
Take enigma for example. Awesome game, one of the first I bought for the iPhone. I paid $9.99 when it came out, enjoy it a lot. Now the price is down to $2.99. The iPad version is $9.99. Why the hell am I going to pay full price AGAIN for the same game, there is NOTHING new. Yes, higher resolution graphics. Which is just a matter of them reimported the images (ok a bit more then that, especially if they dont have higher quality originals)
I understand there is no way for a developer to give a discount if you have already purchased the application.
I contacted the developer of Enigma and they said they aren't doing a price drop. Ok, welp I won't be buying it then and I am sure lots of others will do the same.
What also pisses me off is developers who are creating 2 separate versions of an app. I understand they want to make money off the development of the iPad version, but make the new one universal!!
Over time developers will be forced to lower prices, they won't be able to compete otherwise.
So far, I have spent $9.99 on applications. That was to purchase numbers, which is well worth the price.
