Aesthetics probably play a big part. I don't know if anyone has done studies, but user perception (rational or not) plays a part in whether they will buy. Not too long ago, the Market priced apps in only one currency. I'm sure people were reluctant to buy in a foreign currency. Now they do an autoconvert and put things like ~$2.16. I'm sure it makes people feel all wishy washy about a topic, price, that they usually like to feel exact about. (what do you mean, about 2.16?) In real life, it won't vary that much, so what is the freaking big deal if that app ends up costing 2.13 or 2.18? But user behavior isn't rational. If I couldn't decide between an app that cost $1.99 and one that cost $4.99, you know which one I would buy? Both. It ain't worth $7 to me to spend hours agonizing over which one. But you can't expect that much logic from every user. Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
