Hi Kay, Let's just give Tap Tap See a bit of time to evaluate all the feedback they have received, both good/constructive and bad/not so constructive.
As I pointed out before, I think it would be nice if they offered an annual unlimited membership at a discounted price from what a monthly membership would cost if you multiply it by 12. Combine that with being smart and taking advantage of iTunes Gift Card promos and somebody who wanted unlimited access could do pretty good. Personally I think the $7.99 for 100 pictures is a good deal and an excellent alternative to the monthly subscription. Maybe Apple imposes limits as to how many pricing options/packages they can offer; let's not accuse them of a lack of options if it's not their fault. I also stated this before, but I think in combination with Camfind and Talking Goggles and possibly Digit-Eyes or Red Laser, there really is little reason why 100 pictures should not last a month or 2. Let's do the math, if you pay $7.99 for 100 pictures, then $9.99 (the monthly subscription) would buy you 125 pictures. In other words, unless you take more than 125 pictures a month, you are better off buying the 100 picture package for $7.99. Anyhow, I really don't see much point of other packages except an annual or even a 2-year or 3-year subscription. Tap Tap See clearly stated that the 100 pictures don't expire, you have them until you use them so there is little point in offering 50 pictures for $4.99 or even fewer pictures for less, $8 is not a price most people can't afford and if you don't take pictures of your dog or your keyboard for fun just to see if Tap Tap See tells you it's a Black Dog or a White Keyboard, 100 pictures really should last the majority of people a good while. In the end it just comes down to whether it's worth it to you or not.

As I have said already, I do mot have a problem paying for the service, I simply have a problem with the pricing options available now. I personally know of several people that have deleted the app and are very disappointed with the situation. I do plan on telling them to email and come up with suggestions.

Of course when Fleksy which I think started out at $14.99, went free after first dropping to $4.99 just as many people complained because they wanted Fleksy right away so they spent the money. Well, it happens all the time, prices go up and just because Tap Tap See was free that doesn't mean it has to remain so or should remain so. After all, the people behind Tap Tap See do have to have to live as well. What if Tap Tap See had started out costing $4.99 for 100 pictures and then went up to $7.99, would people have complained as much? I think the most important thing, however, is that everybody who has something to say regarding the cost whether it's good or bad should also CC cont...@taptapseeapp.com because the developer, Image Searcher, is who really needs to hear this. If people want them to reconsider their model or pricing they have to let them know and it's not reasonable to assume or expect that they should monitor the list for all these messages. Before I found the Tweet on their website confirming that they are switching to a subscription or pay per use model, I wrote to them asking for clarification since even right now as I am writing this message I don't have an update nor have I seen any message asking me to pay. I'm sure it's only a matter of time, but since there seemed to be conflicting information out there at first with some getting the message and some not, I just went on their website and send a support email. As I stated before, I will most likely buy the 100 images for $7.99 since occasionally I do find the app extremely useful, but I will probably use Camfind (same developer) and Talking Goggles first and only fall back on Tap Tap See if I can't get a good result. It's not as if there are no alternatives, there are in fact, many and I suspect 100 pictures will last me half a year in which case the price is not an issue. I do, however, agree that $10 a month is a bit steep, in fact, I think a good monthly subscription price would be $4.99 and it would be nice if they added an annual subscription, say for $39.99 or even $49.99 and they could even offer a 3-year subscription like Sendero for say $99.99 and then people who really use the service a lot would have a pretty reasonable way to get it and use it as much as they want. Let's hope Image Searcher is open towards considering other options and of course if they do charge they are hopefully commited to keeping the updates coming and to improving the service. I think at this point they do deserve the benefit of the doubt and a chance to maybe respond and react to whatever feedback you all are hopefully sending to them as well. Feedback and constructive criticism is good, expressing outrage and getting mad are not.

I would rather pay a flat fee for the app, but ten dollars a month is a bit much, imo.
