I was quite shocked at how expensive it was to be honest. But I bought it anyway because of my affinity to this site. I wouldn't have paid that usually though.

I agree, it is very expensive. Especially considering most android mobiles can access this site anyway!

I'm so disappointed in you guys. Using a free site forever, and complaining the app I did complimenting it was "too expensive", when:

a) you don't have to buy it
b) I didn't have to invest so much in developing it, but tons of people asked for it, and I had to put a lot of time and effort into it that's never gonna pay off
c) it's half the price of a movie ticket, or less

comment # 4 by SkyHighZoo

Whilst your point are very valid, you asked for comments. Don't be surprised when people tell you what they thought. I think this site is great, but the internet, for most people, is the FREE exchange of information. Once again, I do love Next-episode.net.

Good thing you pointed that out.

comment # 6 by kjerona

Well I loved it

EDIT: Someone (that would be me) totaly missed that one have a 15 minutes refund grace period of apps bought on Android Market - which totaly makes it possible to try out an app before buying of course! My bad! ^^

(I hope there is a BOTD system in it.. ;)

EDIT 2: Really nice app which will be used! :)

---

I have to say that I didn't buy the app for my droid. I thought the price was too high. Don't get me wrong on that; I thought the price was initialy high because I wasn't able to try it out first and fiddle a little with it first. There been too many apps with good ratings that disapointed me in the past, not just over Android store.

Any chance there is a free demo app in the works?

Sorry for being such a cheap a** ^^ I love next-episode.net (I hope you implemented "babe of the day" and voting in the app as well! ;P )

Comparing the price of this app to movie tickets is pointless. Comparing the price to smartphone apps is more relevant.

I bought the app, it's useful. I like the functionality it provides.

Do I wish it had been cheaper? Yes.
Will I recommend it to others? Only those who I know already use the next-episode site. I think the price means it will only ever be an a companion to the full site.

Of course, the other alternative would be to offer some sort of trial/free/lite version of the app to get people in.

Honestly i loved the app! And compared to a lot of other things we buy day to day that is totally garbage, this is a good investment for those who use NE alot!

comment # 10 by Richard87

comment # 11 by santah

comment # 12 by guja

I bought the app. Not that I use it, but to support this great site that I am using for free for a couple of years and would be lost without it. But I agree wit those who say that the app is too expensive to lure people into using it. Only people who use the site for some time will buy the app.

Too high price :( I rather use the site.
