Is it just me, or is the pricing of some Apps a bit strange.

I'm going to use, Star Wars-Knights Of The Old Republic, as an example, just because it seems to stick out like a sore thumb to me.
When i first noticed this game. it was something like £11.99, then i noticed that it sometimes came down to £6.99, then,  back up again.
There doesn't seem to be any indication in the app store that things like that are going on, you just have to keep looking and see if the numbers in the tiny grey box are lower or higher than when you last looked.
I've noticed today that the game i've mentioned is now £13.99, and it also says underneath the title today that there is 20% off featured ASPYR games, suggesting that this game is currently 20% cheaper than normal. Well, I've never seen it costing 20% more than £13.99.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something and there is a regular sale system that i am just not aware of, or maybe I'm just reading it all incorrectly, but it really seems a bit slippery when you look at some of these things in the App store.
Just wondering if anyone else has thought anything about it I suppose.

there are apps to keep track of appstore price changes..   Like this one here : http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/appydays/id428240257?mt=12

  • Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? Is there any way to have a playlist open in a new window?

    Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? I'm used being able to open a playlist in a separate window in order to browse through my music and easily drag and drop tracks into the playlist (in a separate window). It also meant that I could search and play the contents of my main library and just drag and drop into a large space AND easily hit the stop button and instantly hit the pay button to just start a new tune from a new playlist. Now you can only press pause / play / pause and so on. If I want to view the contents of a playlist while listening to another I need to navigate to it which takes me away from what I'm doing in the other. It just makes for a lot of clicking and navigating around the houses when I used to be able to have multiple windows.
    I'm an avid music fan and just love organising my music to make finding / listening to my favourites eaiser.
    Maybe I'm just a bit thick and not using the software correctly, but it seems that a lot of handy features have been either removed or replaced with inferior ones (at least for me anyway). I appreciate that probably for most generic general music goers this isn't an issue, but for me it is.
    A rather long winded way of asking if anybody knows if it's possible to have multi-windows open, but also a chance to have a public moan about a great piece of software that has been updated and gone backwards - a bit like the iPhone google / apple maps situation!

  • I just tried to download the Wheel Of Fortune app. A cloud with a downward arrow appeared, and when I clicked on it it appeared to download, and a circle with a square in it appeared. I clicked on that, and the cloud with the arrow came back.  What to do?

    I just tried to download the Wheel Of Fortune app. A cloud with a downward arrow appeared next to it. When I clicked on it, it appeared to download, then a circle with a square inside it appeared. When I clicked on that, the cloud with the arrow came back. What's going on?

    Don't click on the circle, that is just telling you it's downloading. When you click it, it stops downloading.

  • How can I reduce the size of some apps like Facebook, Twitter,whatsup..etc..as they eat a lot of space on my iPhone 4s ?

    How can I reduce the size of some of the key apps likeTwitt Facebook, whatsup etc..I have a iphone 4s 7 GB?

    Its frustrating. I also have this problem with Dropbox, a great service but they dont have a 'delete cache' button. Dropbox told me to log out and back in again but nothing. If i delete the Dropbox app (And Facebook app and Twitter) and then re-install its back to its original size
    If you go into settings/general/usage and see all the apps, press the app for Twitter (Or Facebook) and you'll see how much extra the app is keeping under 'Documents & Data'
    Delete those apps and re-install and the documents and data will be 0 and the app back to normal.
    Its frustrating as some of these apps can get huge, after viewing a video my facebook app went up to 450 meg ! Same for twitter. I tend to use 'Twiterrific' as the app size doesnt get silly unlike the official Twitter app

  • HT4972 How do I update my Iphone 3g which has OS4.2.1 to OS5.x.x. I tunes says that 4.2.1 is the latest, but some apps tell me that it is out of date.

    I have tried through Itunes, butthat tells me that my OS is up to date (4.2.1) Unable to use some Apps as they require later OS. Also unable to receive/send picture messages for same reason. Apple web site not much help.  HELP

    The apps issue is the app developer's decision on what iOS to support, not Apple. The issue with send/receive picture messages is not with the inability to upgrade your iOS. How long have you been unable to send/receive picture messages? MMS has been available since iOS 3.1

  • $186 for One Blackberry . . . I just don't get the pricing and can't get a good explanation

    I've had two phones, a Blackberry (1400 mins, 250 mess., 2GB data) and a cheap Samsung (1400 mins, 250 messages). Last month I paid $130 for both of them, $115 for the Blackberry and $15 for the Samsung.
    This month, I asked Verizon to drop the Samsung because it's just not used. My new bill amount is $185.82!!! Wow. I thought I was a reasonably capable person, but I don't get this math by Verizon. I paid $115 for the Blackberry last month and this month I'll pay $186. Was there a penalty for dropping the Samsung add-on phone?
    This is way too pricey for me. As mentioned, maybe AT&T looks a ton more attractive now.

    I just got off the telephone with customer service. There doesn't seem to be much hope of getting a viable answer. All customer service does is read you the bill. I can do that. I can see it too. That's not "service". I'd like to have some analysis or reasoning applied. My 10 year-old son can read the bill to me.
    The ETF isn't an issue in my case. BTW, there was a $35 activation fee charged on my initial $130 bill that isn't included on this $186 bill. This would indicate a new line, but you said that there was no ETF. Did you activate a phone you already had to put on the new line?
    They did up the minutes. I don't know how they did that. I'd originally chosen 900 minutes. You had originally chosen 900 minutes for a Family Plan? The reason Verizon changed it is because 900 minutes is not available for a Family Plan. You have 700, 1400, 2000 and unlimited minutes available for Family Plans.
    Verizon increased it to 1400. That is part of the difference. However, that's not a change I would have made. This is a change that HAD to be made when you switched to a Family Plan. When you dropped the Family Plan and changed to an Individual Plan, you would have had to choose  from 450, 900 and unlimited minutes.
    I'm still one person who doesn't use the phone much. I'm not going to up my minutes - I'll use the phone the same amount this month as last. After 50+ years, my phone usage has become fairly stable.
    Anyway, thanks for the help people, but it doesn't seem Verizon CS can do much more than read "accurate" charges to me
    The guy got pretty snotty when I mentioned AT&T - lost his composure completely.
    It seems that you are leaving out parts of the story, which makes it even harder to help you. What you need to do is sign into My Verizon, print out your itemized bill, and it will tell you EXACTLY what the additional charges are. It sounds as if you, CS and your 10 year-old son are NOT reading the itemized bill. Otherwise, you would know WHAT the additional charges were.

  • Ipod keeps restartin in the middle of some apps

    my ipod touch 16 gb 2nd gen keeps restarting on its own wen i use apps. i think its overheating but i dont know. i tried the ipod touch troubleshoot but that didnt work SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! i cant afford a new one

    Hi Y'all...I found this post while searching for the same problem you're having, songs cutting off early. I called Apple Tech support and told the tech the problem and that I didn't think my IPOD classic was broken but asked him if there is a setting to adjust the play time. He told me that there is but the ipod has to be connected to Itunes. From there you highlight the song, in fact you can select all the songs on the ipod to do a global change. Next right-click (for you PC users) and select Get Info then Options. From there he said there is an option for Start Time/Stop Time. He said uncheck those boxes or you can set the time. I never want to set the song time, so I'm going to uncheck it. I'm at work now but when I get home I'll try it. I think it'll work.

  • Excise duty in the Pricing Procedure for Local Purchase / Importation

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how to set up the pricing procedure for the purchase of an IS Oil Material; for local purchase and importation, especially with regards to the excise duty posting.
    Local purchase:  the vendor will bill us inclusive of the ED tax he previously paid, so the tax is just passed on to us..  My receiving location has ED paid status. In the PO item, we need to see this price (inclusive of tax) in the net price field.
    Importation:  the vendor only bills us the cost of the material.  When we received the fuel, we paid ED tax to local tax authorities.
    I know that both in these scenarios, the system has to determine the excise duty.
    My questions are (1) how do you set up the excise duty condition type  in the pricing procedure(or do they have to be maintained in the pricing procedure?) ?   and (2)  how do you set up this condition type in the config?
    Thank you and hoping for your immediate feedback.

    Hi,
    You can use same pricing procedure
    put 4 in subtotal in pricing procedure against the Discounr or freight cond
    and in taxinn
    BASb ALTCBV 362 and for jmop 363
    But this will work only if same  discount or freight value is in IV as that given in PO
    if freing value changes in IV then its a problem
    This is SAP bug, and SAP workes in that way only, freight value should be same in PO and IV
    other solution
    in taxinn create tax code like v8 vat 4% for 003 tax clasification
    in ftxp create tax code V8 desc vat 4%
    in fv11 for jvrd put 4
    and at the time of IV put this tax code for freight amount
    and for regular material value V1 tax code
    this will work only if u have used acess seq MWST instead of JTAX pr JST1
    hope this helps

  • How to control the pricing condition in billing document?

    Hello Experts,
    Greetings!
    We are using two pricing condition.One is PR00 another one is VA00.PR00 is a mandetory condition & prices comes from condition record only.Users are not allowed to enter pr00 manually.
    Now we have created one more condition VA00 by which user can  increase the price for some particular customers.
    Now if the user do enter the condition VA00 in sales order & if it beyound credit limit than system gives informative message & blocks for the delivery.
    Now the issue is if they do enter the condition in billing documents instead of sales order system does not check the credit limit at billing level.It allows invoice to be generated even beyond the credit limit.
    How can we control this? Is it possible that the condition VA00 can only be used for sales order only.It will not allow to enter at billing time?
    Plz suggest how can we resolve this issue in order to control the credit limit.
    Any help would be highly appriciated.
    Best Rgds
    Nitin

    Hi,
    you can use a surcharge condition type which calculates a percentage over the basic price price that is PR00 in your case.
    insert it in the pricing procedure just below the PR00
    and remember to maintain FROM & TO step no. of PR00, this condition should be manual entry alllowed
    and insert one more condtion type in pricing procedure that will add the values of above 2 condtions .
    make above condition type w/o account keys and assign account ker erl to this new condtion type,
    STEP NO.     COUNTER     C TYPE     DESCRIPTION     FROM      TO     R     ACCOUNT KEY
    8     0     PR00     BASIC PRICE                                           YES     
    11     0     ZSUR     SURCHARGE     8     8     YES     
    13     0     ZPR0     Price (Gross)     8     11     YES     ERL
    in condition type of ZSUR(surcharge)maintain "c"
