I think fogmeister should write pcernie an inhouse app to warn him of "bend levels" eg if pcernie has to bend to tie shoelaces the more chance of pcernie ripping trousers in the process the app will detect the trajectory and beep fast to warn the user (pcernie in this case) that he is about to embaress himself

Same app is £1.99 on the iOS App Store.

So how do you actually buy a 25p app and pay 25p?
When I click on the 25p and go to Google Wallet, which is the only option I find offered, it says:
"Total £2.17 GBP (includes VAT £0.28 GBP)"
which I note is quite a lot more than 25p...
I've tried buying it on my phone and on the PC, with a credit or debit card, all with the same insane 900% increase over the price ticket. I can't even see a way to buy lots of 25p apps together and pay a single admin fee or anything like that?

Draw Something. I'm fed up with drawing the same words every week, and it's still showing as being 25p which would be a bargain if it was true!

Saw it for 25p yesterday right enough, but there's a new batch today so presumably the price has reverted (shows as £2.17 here now)

Yep, it's showing as £2.17 on the store now. It definitely said 25p when I clicked on it an hour ago though. I had 25p still showing on the phone at the top on the price tag, while it said £2.17 at the bottom on the checkout! I guess I missed it by a few minutes or something

I do and TuneIn Radio Pro suits me fine. This is good if you do not want to be bothered by commercial radio.
