Hi all. As my own opinion, I think because of the accessibility of apps to
everybody around the world, someone may think that is the reasonable price but
someone else may think that's a crazy one. For the living cost in your country,
you may think 9$ for an app is ok, reasonable but for the poor country such as
ones in Africa or Vietnam, southeast Asia, where I'm living, that is really
high price for an app. 9$ is worth ten lunch for a usual people here. I'm even
a student without very much, almost no help from the government, it makes me
feel really bad when deciding to buy an app for studying use. I know the hobbit
that always waiting for app going on sale to buy is not good but you should put
you own into many situation so that you can understand them better. Thanks for
reading!
Best regards!
