It's because they believe that we don't know the difference between a paid and free version of the same app. DJ

I mean, say it does great scanning pages, but chokes on envelopes? Most of my scanning is envelopes, but unless I can test that out ahead of time, I won't know that the app will not work for me as well as it did for the guy in the podcast. That's just an example; everyone has different use cases, requirements, and expectations, and I simply can't understand why the developers of this app refuse to adopt a simple model that would let each potential customer make sure the app is what they want and need before spending all that money.

Someone on more than one individual do a podcast and will get a good idea of how the app really works. After all, nobody has to buy it the first day it comes out. Using some patients and caution will yield good results in the end.

We will not be creating a "freemium" app. This only causes confusion and lowers expectations. So there you have it. Cough up your hundred dollars based on others' experiences, or don't get the app; no trials for anyone. I personally find this to be ridiculous and a bad decision, but what do I know?

He was really thrilled with his purchase and thought it was great value. He has been using it for the past five years and it's been working flawlessly! The results of the OCR have to be seen to be believed! I was shocked to hear that this app now sells for $99!! It's a steal! It's an outstanding application! Comparing it with other available OCR apps is like comparing chalk with cheese. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
