Crossed Wires

App Pricing, Piracy, And A Calculator

08 Apr 2022

Description

After a bit of a Twitter exchange on the back of some app piracy frustration, I invited James Thomson (best known for his wonderful calculator app, PCalc) to come and chat about all things piracy and app pricing. We take a few tangents down subscription pricing, app store reviews, upgrade paths and some essential discussions about the Mac Studio and M1 Ultra. It was a real pleasure to record with James, especially given some audio challenges we had along the way. A huge shoutout to Squadcast for making the whole process painless, the issues we had didn’t come out on their local recordings and to say it saved the episode would be an understatement. I really hope you enjoy this episode, do you have any thoughts on app pricing, the app store, or even piracy. If so, we’d love to hear from you, so send a note over to [email protected], leave a comment on the post, or start a discussion in Goodpods. If you liked this episode or any of our content, we’d greatly appreciate any little bit of support you can throw our way over at our Ko-Fi page.
