Re: Scratch App Debate

If I had the money, and a iPhone/iPod Touch, I still wouldn't buy it. Not that good imo.

Re: Scratch App Debate

You would think that people who have spent 200+ dollars on a device that can play this app would have enough money to buy a 4 dollar app.

But if no one buys then the price will come down, thats supply and demand at work.

Re: Scratch App Debate

Most apps cost more money.
So, I'm not surprised by the 3.99.

Then how can you afford a iTouch?

Sorry if that's rude, my family isn't the richest either........

Re: Scratch App Debate

Yeah, and each song costs 1$, and the computer that you use to load songs on costs 500+ dollars.

But, if enough people say that they will buy it for less then they will likely lower the price. Seeing as how it was made by a for profit company it will not be free.

Re: Scratch App Debate

Well apps and songs can be downloaded in almost the same way. I am assuming that since the OP is considering buying this app they buy songs too. If the OP was pirating everything then they wouldn't open this topic.
