iPhone Mobile App - pricing feedback
|
This topic is primarily for those beta testing the iPhone mobile app. If you're one of those testers - tell us what you think! |

Stoked to see an iPhone app on the way! MountainProject has helped me out on the rock on more than a few occasions, including getting me out of a jam! As far as pricing goes, I for one would be happy to pay a couple bucks to avoid the ads. Cannot stand ad-supported apps. |

I think you should definitely charge a fee for this app, even if it's only $0.99. I'm sure developing and maintaining the app costs somebody something; if you make it free to start with and later decide you need to get some monetary compensation, people will squawk a lot more than if they paid for it in the first place. |
|
I would rather pay for a good app then install a free app that sucks. |
|
$3.99. would pay it without thinking twice. |
|
Bump to continue the discussion. We've had alot of internal debate on this, and we'd love to hear as many opinions as possible. |
|
i had another idea for an app feature, is this the proper place to mention it? Another place better? Anyway, here it is... I want to be able to record my position and associate it with a climb. The way there is a consensus rating, I want a consensus coordinates. The MP database is often not that useful if you aren't already familiar with an area. If someone could stand at the base of a route and say to MP "I am right at the base of superhedralmax 2000" that would be very helpful to me. It could also automatically generate the data used to determine left to right or right to leftness. |
|
a nominal fee of $1.99 or whatever would be peferable to having ads on the app. |
|
I'd much rather pay an annual subscription then have to deal with ads. I think anything under $5 would be acceptable. Still a whole hell of a lot cheaper than buying guidebooks and wouldn't take up any extra room in pack. |

The only curiousity I have is whether the app version is going to provide any difference to the mobile version. What's the benefit of having the app version? I read through and looked at the planned material for the app. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like a quicker way to the same info. And at the end of the day, cell phone reception (3G or Wifi) is not able to be accessed at a lot of places. |

After having the opportunity to beta test this app I would be happy to pay a fee to be able to use it. I think the adds would only detract from the now awesome app. |
|
I just logged onto MP in hopes that I could D/L the app right now. Unfortunately, I guess it's still in beta testing. |
|
If I could download the app and database to my Android phone I would pay $10. |
|
I'm on board with $3.99. That seems like a very fair price. |
|
Thanks for all the replies so far - your feedback is appreciated. Please not that we're NOT considering a one time charge, as many of you seem to refer to. |
|
I'd be happy to pay $3 or $4 dollars for the app, and/or a $1 or $2 yearly subscription fee, if you guys decide to go that route. |
|
I would definitely pay up to 10$ for the Android app, especially if we could add routes and photos as well as GPS coordinates. |
|
I'd pay as much as $20, but the more I pay, the more I expect to get. |
|
Looks like I finally have a reason to buy a smart phone. |

4.99, happily |
