what is your app budget?

haha to the dismay of my wife i started with a budget then it ended up oh this looks good lets buy it. I figured if it may make my phone more productive im game

I have set aside about 20-30 bucks a month just to buy new apps... just curious if any others have done something similar.... also for market research... I should put up a poll

This is what I spent so far. If I see a few people highly recommend something, I get it. I never want to be "missing out" on something. Personally I think spending 40 bucks in apps and 20 bucks donation is peanuts for free music forever.



I also donated 20 bucks to AdamZ for the smoked glass ROM, since by far that was the best thing I've installed.

Grand total = 57.02

I've kept maybe $15 worth since getting the phone in November. I bet I've got $50 in refunds. I AM up to over $150 in accessories, though.

My experience pretty much mirrors yours.

As does mine :greendroid:

If I need it, I buy it

That's my budget....

I do that too. So far I have bought 3 apps since I got the phone. totaling less then $20.

 

[QuPop]

its actually funny when i had the itouch i would just jailbreak and get the apps for free.So i rarely would spend anything at all.

Now even though i could still get them free i am willing to pay just to support the developers. They're the ones really improving my experience with my phone and paying couple dollars here and there is nothing, less than a value meal.

Don't have a budget but it sure seems to get under my banks skin. Chase is having a hard time understanding why I'm charging .99, 1.59, 4.99. They've called my wife twice asking if the charges are legit.

Zip so far, but that'll be changing in the next few days.

$0. Not because I can't afford them. It's because I'm cheap.

 

[Champers]

The only things I have purchased so far are Weather Widgets Donate and Better Keyboard. I won't spend more than a few dollars - and if there is a free alternative with half the functionality, I would rather use that. If you want my money your app better be very useful, unique, polished.

Works for me.

No budget here. If I want it or need it I buy it!!

We're talking mostly a few bucks an app so it's not that much. Haven't bought many games at all, those seem to be a little more expensive than the general apps which run what 99 cents to 2 bucks?

Most expensive app to date is Locale for ten bucks.

Funny how I hesitate so much to buy a $.99 or $1.99 app when I spend it so frivolously everywhere else. Food? Snack? Drink? Donation? Random crap I don't need but saw a deal for online? I will buy without even thinking twice.
Not sure why I think sooo hard before spending $.99 on an app that will make my experience so much better with something I use so often. Maybe I'm just cheap? Maybe I just want it for free? I guess that's just being cheap too.

Anyway, so far I've spent about $10. Will probably spend about $10-20 more after I get over this cheapo phase.

I'm the same way. Just this morning, stopped at BK and bought 2 orders of ciniminis, knowing full well we had great value sweet rolls at home I could make...and I was on my way home.

But I hesitate before buying, and if an app doesn't strike me as something great that I'll actually use, I refund it. I need to look into the refund policy. Don't wanna piss anyone off...

Iv got more pressing bills so I stick with the free stuff.

A big fat 0

All my current apps were free, call me cheap.
