Re: HandyBank for Android Update

Hi Elana,

>You're planning on charging $6.50 for the app
Actually it will be closer to $8, or about the cost of a fast food lunch. I
expect all updates will be free of charge until something really big comes
along that requires a major rewrite or something. The cost of the app, less
the 30% cut Google takes, will offset the material costs and considerable
development time that has been invested into this project.

>I also loathe paying for apps sight unseen
Me too, I understand completely. To help offset any anxiety, we plan to
publish a complete user guide with every possible screen described. A link
to that guide will be in the description for the app. That should make the
"sight unseen" into "seen".

> Do you have plans on making a limited trial version of the app at no
charge?
Not unless the Android Market makes this really easy to do. Besides the most
difficult part requiring the most hours of development is the Wi-Fi and
Dropbox synchronization portion of the code, and there is no easy way to
separate that out and make a "lite" free version or something. In other
words, there is no easy way to make it "limited" and still useful.

Kind regards,

--Kevin
