I thought Joseph did a very nice positive review of MBraille and it left me seeing a circumstance in which it might be useful to me. I also think his expression of a price he was willing to pay and a price he wasn't willing to pay is reasonable. Price points are always open to many opinions among customers and developers should decide for themselves what their labor is worth in a market such as the app store. I would not pay $30 for it because there are a lot of other things I would rather buy with that amount of money. That is no criticism of MBraille but a valid expression of how a marketplace works.

Also, consider the lowest cost Bluetooth braille keyboard out there is hundreds of dollars. All that said, if you spend the money, I don't think you'll regret it.
