good points Martin. Your right. But there is a flipside to that coin. The developers will get poor ratings because people didn't know how to use the app.I too think the 15 minute return window is terrible. I understand most apps are returned within that time but not all. I don't think this is done to benefit the consumer at all, it's solely to encourage more developers all while alleviating the worry about returns, IMO. This isn't necessarily all bad as more dev's is what we want
It's not about the money from my point of view, I throw away a dollar or two on crap every day, whether it be a soda, a beer, etc. so the same amount on an app won't break the bank.
.... I am excited to see the new Market however
They will rate it low because it didn't have this feature or that feature and it didn't do this or that when in fact it did have all those things they just didn't know it.
I can see it now "This app sucks! no timer on the screen time out!!" when in fact it does they just didn't find it. : )
I pass on apps all the time based on poor ratings.
