This really depends on the application. For daily use type apps this
might be good. But for once-in-a-while apps, that's too long. Take an
app that creates icons for instance. One would get virtually unlimited
use if the counter was only incremented each time it was used. Or, take
an app that cleans up the system. Giving 30 tries might be equivelant
to several years use.
