@flyosity my friends who don’t buy apps do so because they are more risk averse than they are price conscious.
App prices, to consumers, are not about worth. It's about them being wary of spending *any* amount up-front based on screenshots only.

@shawnblanc So the best solution would be trails for all apps. Oh, and LETTING US GIVE REFUNDS. +@flyosity -
@marcedwards@shawnblanc Good point there, and I posit that if there were trials then no refunds would be needed. What do you think? - View other replies

@flyosity I’d want both. I love giving refunds. If someone’s not happy, I don’t want to keep their money. +@shawnblanc - Show more

@flyosity Buy the wrong app and you have to buy another, then maybe another. - View other replies

@shawnblanc Yeah I think that price is just one factor in the overall psychology of someone who is browsing the App Store. There should be..

@flyosity from a pure physiological way. It is easier for most consumers to pay 1$ ten times than to pay 10$ upfront -
@Objective_Neo Absolutely. And since they are already using the app before spending $ they can get a better sense of the value.

@flyosity how do you overcome that wariness? - View other replies

@utzy Can't, you can only work with it by making your app free and charging users for advanced functionality within it.

@flyosity imagine if apps had 14 day trial periods built into them. get user hooked, then start charging by default. Not talking about games -
@brianbreslin It'd transform the industry AND transform app UI/UX design. Imagine how important first and ongoing use would be then! -
@flyosity it would IMPROVE the industry IMO. fewer one off apps, more longterm engagement design.

@flyosity Yes, I think trials would fix much of these problems. -
@flyosity Very true. You mostly know what a cup of coffee tastes like. But you don't know what an app does just based on screens.
