Another way UK users get screwed by BlackBerry

- the point is the exchange doesnt work. which results in the app costing more.
get of your high horse for a second or two.
if blackberry cant get their exchange rate to work as intended it doesnt give off a good business image now does it.

They do set the price tiers the developer can set. Ie. there's .99 and not 1.29 as a tier. But the developer picks the pricing. If people don't agree with the pricing, they can always click the support email for the app and complain to the developer.02-15-13 07:16 AMLike 0 - again the issue is not over the price that is set, but the way the set price fluctuates thanks to the app worlds shoddy converter.
this has nothing to do with the dev and everything to do with rim/blackberry.

i want to pay the price the dev sets...currently i am not.

your friend in the next road from yours buys an app for $500. but you have to pay $775. do you think that is reasonable.
its not vat, which is a good point, because when the vat rate changed, the app prices didnt.

- are you for real? i used the .55cents as a frikking example. i'm ******** over the principle not the actual amounts. but lets put it another way.

And it isn't down the road, or a differant zip code, its a differant country. Things cost more or less in other countries. If this needs to be explained to you, well I just feel sorry for you.
i know how countries work, so dont feel sorry for me. save it for yourself as you cant understand what broken means. see the app world has no trouble raising a local price so it matches $1. what do you say about that?
Sent from my BlackBerry 9810 using Tapatalk02-15-13 07:39 AMLike 0 - the price didnt go up, its set that way for you and another for your neighbour.

then i will ask why you havent acknowledged that if app world can raise local prices to match the set price, why isnt it lowering local prices to match the set price.

are you trying to troll? i'm finding it hard to believe you are actually genuinely missing the point.
if the app came on a disc that had to be produced and shipped to the uk then this wouldnt be an issue.

The bottom line is, it costs what it costs. Whether it's different for you than it is for me is nothing you or I can control. If it is worth the price to you, then you buy it, regardless of what that price is somewhere else. If it isn't, then you don't.02-15-13 08:03 AMLike 0
