There is a free version of my app available and it's also complicated to the point that it couldn't be throughly evaluated in 20 mins. I picked 20 mins because, while it's somewhat arbitrary, I only have a handful returns more than 20 mins and less than a few hours after purchase. My app should take at least a few hours to thoroughly evaluate. Therefore, it's fairly safe to say that the 20 min crowd are likely pirates.
