This review embodies what I think about most App Store customers.

In what universe is $1.99 or $4.99 or even the combined total of $6.98 a “rip off”?

I understand people are cheapskates. I get that. But your cheapness doesn’t mean hard-working developers should give away their applications for free or at a cost which doesn’t pay them fairly for their time and effort. And, further, your cheapness should not be used as the main point in your 1-star review.


This kind of thing exemplifies the kind of bullshit entitlement that I think is becoming a major problem in our society as a whole, not just online.  Saying you don’t feel it’s worth the money is one thing, but this is clearly an example of a jackass who wants the world for a really poorly sung song.

    agree more. I have no idea how to turn this trend around.
