IMO The reason why paid apps are not doing as well are be: 1) the android user base is totally spoiled with free apps for months. A ton of good ideas are in the free apps so why would they pay for those? 2) we are all spoiled with success stories from the Apple app store, especially with all the dumb apps making a ton over there. 3) The user base here is more money-pinching. 4) refunds are great for consumers but terrible for sellers
