Regarding the price, I don't think the price is high for what you get. You get a useful, well written tool, and it's utility should certainly be worth 10 bucks, it's not a lot. You can compare it to beatmaker, another iphone app which goes for $20, (after all, mobile compas is more than a metronome). If something is usefull, it should be worth 10 bucks to you, if its not useful, it isn't worth even a buck. I don't know if you are aware of the big discussion developers are having regarding pricing in the appstore and how the appstore is causing prices to collapse to the point it is no longer justifying the developers effort. There are a few developers that ditched the iphone for that reason and returned to other platforms (like Symbian) where they can maintain a price. This app has very little appeal to non-flamenco players. As such it is not a big seller, and dropping the price will not bring that many more customers. I have another app on the appstore that goes for a buck (non music related). It sells 10 times as much as the flamenco app, but costs a tenth, so it makes the same revenue, which in any case is only pocket money, not going to be able to retire on it... Not even to get a blanca from Anders... I did the flamenco metronome not to make money, rather because flamenco is my passion and I wanted a tool like that for myself. I'm planning a few additional features for it which I think will make it an even cooler tool, I'll keep you posted (it will probably take me a month or two)
