>Yes it's only 99 cents, but there's a tremendous amount of hesitancy to buy an app when there's such a strong expectation of getting for free.

99 cents may make some hesitate but it's also low enough that I'll sometimes buy an app just to support a developer even if I don't intend to use the app.

Anything we can do to help uncondition the public that everything should be ad supported the better.

Congrats to the OP on shipping!
