Ask The Readers: Do You Want Us To Cover Paid Apps?

By Nakodari on Sep 01 2011 161 Comments

There is one topic that we have been debating internally for a while and we need feedback from our readers for that. We would like to know what you think about AddictiveTips covering paid apps?

We are known for covering tips, and apps that are freeware. Lately, we have focused more on covering free apps since there are plenty of them around and nobody else seems to be covering them. The rate at which free apps are released every day for all platforms leaves us no choice but to cover them. However, there are some instances where there are paid apps that are worth covering too. Apps that solve some serious problems/annoyances and make life easier for users. We have been ignoring them, simply because they are not free. As a result, we have avoided covering some very nice apps.

No, we are not talking about those ridiculously high priced $40 to $200 apps. We are talking about those apps which cost anywhere from $0.99 to $4.99 or maybe as high as $9.99. We want to make sure that we are covering apps that are affordable by our reader base.

AddictiveTips is synonymous with everything free. When our readers wake up every morning to read this blog, they know that all apps that we have covered are free. No questions asked. However, they are missing a lot of must-have paid apps too which they are not aware of.

Now the most important question is, do you want us to cover paid apps? If your answer is No, please provide a reason. If Yes, then which price point are you more comfortable with? What is the highest amount you are willing the shell out for a paid app?

Drop a comment below, we would love to hear from you. We are looking forward to providing the best experience possible for everyone.

Editor’s Note: All AddictiveTips authors are on a short vacation. We will be back on 5th September, 2011. Meanwhile, we’ll keep checking your comments.

    Providing paid app info would be good only if you could issue separate postings. That way, people could read whichever info post they wish or read both.

    Yes please cover paid apps. It’s very difficult to find anything on payed apps and there are just some things were payed apps are worth it. Also I think some “best of” reviews would be great. It’s really nice to find the rare review that list the best of app in a segment that includes both free and payed apps. For me if a app is over $30 I try to keep looking unless its something were there is not other application like it. Take “Movie Collector” for an example. I just had to have that one and nothing else really come close to it.

    I think that free apps are more important but if there really is a “better than the rest” app out there that does cost it might be useful to know about it. Again, free is the way to go, i found so many interesting stuff here that i find it hard to believe. none of the other sites i visit had this much useful information.

    I always look forward to read about a interesting app that you guys have found – it doesn’t matter if it’s free or paid. So, yes, please review paid apps that you guys like
