Have we done something wrong to deserve this?

Angry Have we done something wrong to deserve this?

I'm a developer myself, and I know how some platforms could prove to be more time consuming than others...but did the Android community do something to WYSE to deserve a £6 premium being added to the cost of owning your app?

Apple App Store - introductory price £8.99
Google Market - introductory price £14.99

Really? You have to pay to even develop for the Apple store yet your costs were less? The Android version has less features...yet it costs more?

Rest assured I won't be purchasing this app despite loving it. Quite sad.

Hi. I think the cost via Android is $14.99 and not £14.99. Still probably works out dearer when converting it 
to £ but maybe not as big a difference as you might think. 

Well thats what my invoice says but I haven't checked my credit card!!

Yes, granted I am on the US market but the price here is $14.99, not £14.99.

and £8.99 = $14.02 US at the current exchange rates.

Having looked, it seems you're right and the Market app is in USD. Still a little more expensive considering us here in the UK get charged for the conversion by our banks.

In addition for android we offer a free app with limited features. We dont offer this package to the iphone platform.
