Hi, I really do like your app. Could I suggest that maybe you charge one full price for the app say 20 or $30 for the app and people could pay that. This way you might make more money I do not mind paying for the app, but I wish you could be one Price instead of continuing to have to purchase package. I really do like your app, and I'm sure that whatever you come up with will be fair. You know a lot more about these things than I do. We have to take more pictures than a sighted person because it is difficult sometimes to get the pictures right. Thank you for a great app and have a great day, God bless, Wren PS. I certainly do not expect to have this app for free. I want you to know that I really truly do not mind paying for this app. There are many blind people out there who think that they should have everything for free, but I am not one of them.
