Expensive apps have also started to  make their way in the App Store. Two MyAccountsToGo apps are running for $449.99, and another iChart EMR is charging $139.99, but you don’t have to worry about it because it is meant for certain people i.e. professionals, who can rely on these apps.

AppleApplications like PhoneSaber which are targeted to most of the audiences are free. Currently there are 6 apps that cost over $50 and due to this the average price on an app is $6.70, but the overall cost on all apps is $4.96.

There have been complains from a few developers regarding the speed of their app which is not approved fast enough by Apple. While others say that the App Store takes a lot of time in updating an app, when it is taken to the App Store.
