Since I now use mBraille instead of an external keyboard, I have no issues with 
the price.
On the mBraille list, Harri admitted not being clear when he changed a few 
things and dropped the early products.
I do think he messed up with the marketing side of things, and yes, the app has 
a few issues as a third party keyboard which he is working hard to fix, though 
some of the issues are because of the way Apple restricts developers.
He only included the third party keyboard after enough people begged him to do 
it.and given the way Apple does things, it was a much bigger job than expected.
But, it works well in most cases.
I do not know what is causing Michele's issue. I can use it when creating or 
replying to text messages just fine.
Back to the pricing, if you paid what was $29.99 in the US, you have to buy the 
third party keyboard for,  $9.99 or buy both the third party keyboard and 
Dropbox accessibility for $14.99.
Now, there are only two pricing options beyond the free version.
You can buy just the third party keyboard for $9.99 or the "Full Version" for 
$39.99 which includes dropbox and third party keyboard capability.
Sory I only know the US prices.
Could Harri have done the amount of work he did to make this app and charged 
less? I have no idea.
I'm not a programmer and have no idea how many hours it takes to do what he has 
done.
But, I do know that from the first release, he has out performed any other 
attempt at a braille entry system.
JMO,
Richard
