    Do you spend a lot of money on apps for your mobile phone? Do you feel the apps you buy are worth what you pay? What is the most expensive app you have paid for? What persuades you to buy an app?
    Personally, I never buy apps at all. I do not really use my mobile phone very much so it is not worth buying any. In addition, the apps I have seen do not look very useful. I was just wondering what other people do.

    No, I've never spent money on an app. Most of them are useless, and the ones I use are free. If I ever really need to get one, though, I may reconsider paying for it.

    I think this thread is best suited in the category "

    Log In

    " as you will find a similar thread there. Anyway, to answer your question, yes I purchase apps and games but I first check out the free apps. If I'm not satisfied with the free apps available for download, I search for paid apps.

    No, I don't spend much on apps. The most expensive one I bought was $7.99, and it was a daily chore list. I liked it, but then it went away with the year and a new version came out. I was very disappointed. As much as I liked it, it wasn't worth the $$.
    I like the free games.

    I would buy an app for a maximum of 5 dollars I guess, but only if it is worth it and I can actually get a good use out of it. Although the most expensive app I have bought once was Football Manager for the Ipod and it was £7.99 I regretted this decision because I stopped playing it after a week or so lol

    I only ever download free ones. And I rarely buy a game past the free trial. If the game is really addictive and well-worth it, I'd consider it, and even then it would take me some time. So no, I don't really spend too much on apps, especially since there are a lot that become free and give discounts through promos everyday!

    Lol. Well, that's just too bad. That's one of the disadvantages of purchasing downloadable apps and games. You can't sell them afterward if you are through with them or don't really like them. That's why when I'm purchasing an app or a game, I think more than twice before I click on purchase. That way, I won't regret ever getting the download.

    I dont buy paid apps. I just opt to get the free apps especially games and its worth it. I have read some reviews that a lot of free apps does fair to paid apps.

    The only annoying thing are the advertisements, which we can not do anything since this is the only way the app developers of the free apps get some profit from their work.
