Exactly Gordon, this is all just food for thought. I went to the app store
and this was what I personally thought of what I saw regarding this
particular app. It is alright to post comments for discussion here? As far
as trials provided in the app store. I disagree. I have downloaded several
apps that had "in app" purchase, i.e. navigon and planet finder, and also
apps that had a thirty day free trial attached. I do not recall the exact
app, but it was a gps app that used voice input to set up your routs. Maybe
others can recall, but I don't remember off hand. Like I said in my first
post, I think this app sounds really cool, I just think it is a high price
compared to other apps in the app store

Hi
Apple does not permit developers to put trial ware programs into the App
store. As for the price being boosted because it's for the visually
impaired, I'm sorry, I don't agree with that at all. Yes, I grant you that
it does happen on the Windows side of things. But just take a look at what
you're getting with your iOS device for free. Voiceover itself took a great
deal of development and resources. Apple opted to make that free for all of
us. The developers of this application do have to cover their costs, and as
I said earlier whether or not you're prepared to pay the price is entirely a
personal decision.

It just seems to me that just because developers state in their description
that an app is designed for the blind, the price is automatically boosted to
four times the price.
Don't get me wrong, I think the concept is a really cool one and a great
idea for an app, I just think that a lot more people would be willing to
give it a try if it only cost a few dollars, or if they offered a 30 day
trial. I can always hope that it goes on sale. LOL
