and when you say braving the new frontier you mean paying the non-refundable
$99 to try it out and just hope it works right?
Since unlike almost every single IOS app out there, the KNFB reader does not
have a free trial of any kind to insure that the app works on your device
correctly before purchasing the fully functional version.
I'd like to know that this works on my 5C with IOS7.11, but I'm definitely
not going to pay 99 bucks to find out it doesn't work well...
My loss I know, but it's rediculous in this erra of free trial periods or
demo apps to ask for some one to pay fully for an app without insuring that
you like and will get use from the app before purchasing
Unless I missed something about a refund of your purchase if the app doesn't
function correctly with your device?
Sorry, I'm not being a negative nancy here, but every other serious app
developer out there offers their product on a trial basses first, most
especially the more expensive apps.
And it means zero to me that this product with the simbian operating system
and nokia phone was $1700plus originally.
