There's an app for pretty much anything these days. Want to become more familiar with the constellations? There's an app for that. Want to learn Mandarin Chinese? There's an app for that. Want to know how to raise a child? Yep, there's an app for that, too. Of course, not all apps do what they're supposed to, but developers are constantly pumping out newer, better versions of failed ideas.

Apps make up a unique medium limited only by the devices they're made for, and they continue to evolve along with those devices. What's your experience with apps? Do you buy them "on the regular"? Do you let your kids? Let us know in our 8-Question Quick Poll.

    Well I've downloaded games that were 10 or more on 3DS. Though there are some pretty good games that are 3 to 7 in the eshop, including VC. :3

    I would pay $10+ for an app that is well written and does whatever it is I may need. I have lots of free apps on my cell and tablet, but also have just as many paid for. I found that I prefer the PRO (paid) versions of many apps, cause more features and NO ADVERTISING !!

    I've developed a few apps, and let me tell you, it's no easy task. I envy the devs that develop games and other time intensive applications, and I can see perfectly well why they charge upwards of $5 or $10 for them. Many people make a living off of this, and I'm full willing to support them. You'd pay upwards of $100 for software on your PC, why jot your tablet or smartphone? If you're too cheap to pay $1 or $2 for an app, then shame on you, people are trying to make a living here.

    None of the (fortunately all free) apps on my old phone transferred to my replacement one. I'm not going to pay for the same app twice in case my phone fries again.

    I have paid more for special apps. I added the tomtom app which worked great turning my phone into a nice GPS. Just bought a mount for the dash and was good to go. Work almost identical as a dedicated GPS.

    These apps are on the verge of shareware.

    Programmers are trying to get something on their resume so why pay more for something that just makes things a little easier or are merely interesting.

    If there's a free (trial) version available and I really like the app, find it useful and have the extra money, I'll spend it to support the developer(s).

    Why pay for them? There is tons of free apps and games. Not to mention if you can't find a free one to do what you want they actually aren't that hard to build if you are willing to put in some time and effort.

    Depends on the app. A game? Couple bucks, but better be damned good to make me want to buy it. (As in, better have a free version that is good enough to make me want the paid version). I bought Titanium Backup's full version though, and that was more that just a couple of bucks.


    If I'm buying an app without trying a free version first, though, I'll be getting recommended it from everybody I know.

    In fact I've paid almost $50. for a bible study program that I could put on 5 devices, including Desktop, laptop and mobile units. Not Android but they say their working on it. It was worth every penny! I also paid (before that) $26. on another bible study Program.
