Maybe best to get another source on that one, but you get the idea...

Yes though it could also be because the pound has been so week recently. Such changes would happen periodically anyway.

10p I could accept, the latter price jump I'd be a bit suspicious of (I don't buy 'em anyway I should point out). If you're the sort of person who buys a lot, that's the sort of thing that'll just make you wary and less willing, I'd have thought...

Maybe but they are still very cheap even at £1.49. I start to reconsider once they go above £3.

Personally, I consider everything that costs less than a round of drinks to be 'cheap'. £1.49 or £1.29 really doesn't bother me.

There's no doubt it's still cheap in this day and age, but it's the price jump itself that makes me wonder can it be justified - I'm personally very aware of how things start to add up, but then I've always been a cheap git :lol:

Yes but it is good to be cheap some times. I do still think that the apps represent good value.
