Hi. I've been hearing about this all day but haven't gotten a chance to respond up until now. I agree with the people that say we should get it for free on iOS since it's free on the Mac and Windows. However, I also agree with the people that think that if it ain't worth it, don't buy it. If you think about it, it's a double-edged sword. For years the blind community have been almost begging for an iOS version and now that it's here, everyone's up in arms about it because there's a price tag for the games. Get over it. You got your wish. What are you gonna do when you're on the road, take your PC or Mac laptop with you and connect to the internet via a cellular hotspot on your iPhone just to play games on your computer? What happens if your battery on your phone dies because the hotspot feature uses so much battery power it kills your battery? More importantly, do you have that kind of money to keep your computer on that hotspot just so you can play the games on it? Which is more expensive, keeping your computer on the hotspot just to play or buying the games? I sometimes question people's common sense. They want something and now that it's here, they have to complain about it. Also, it is important to note that you *DO NOT* have to buy every game. Just buy the games you'll play and that's it. Plain and simple! I myself am only buying a few games mostly because that's what my friends play after the trial expires for those games. Everything else I'll either play on my Mac or I have no interest in those games. Farkle is one of those games I won't be buying because Dice World's Farkle is better than the RS Games version. So if people approach me that don't have an iOS device and I'm on the road and want to play Farkle with me, I'll tell them to buy an iDevice and download Dice World. Please. Just be happy that it's here. Get over yourselves.
