Beejive set the price they are a company, I am sure they priced it how they felt it would make the most profit. So your opinion doesn't really matter. They are a company and I am sure they try to do the best for themselves. I doubt they are the idiots you make them out to be.
wow.... wind your neck in a little.
"your opinion doesn't really matter"... well if you're going to be so pedantic, that statement accounts for about 95% of what is written on here... so maybe we should just shut the forum down and not bother with it anymore, because it's pretty much a bunch of people posting about stuff which their opinion will have no influence on.
OR people like you could accept that this is an open discussion forum, where people can give their opinions on things they have an interest in.
And I was not for a moment insinuating that the devs of Beejive are idiots. They're clearly not, as they've come up with an exceptional App.
*However* their app at the current pricepoint has only JUST managed to break the top 50 paid apps on iTunes, and it is my belief that at a lower pricepoint (not 99c or anything silly like that - but a $5 or $6 pricetag) the would probably have hit the top in a very short space of time -- and remember, the vast majority of iPhone users almost certainly don't spend large amounts of time around forums such as this one, and may not even KNOW about the existance of Beejive... if it was up and around the top of the chart, that would lead to even more sales... snowball effect etc.
And I'm *guessing * that the No.1 spot on the chart has more than 3x the sales of spot 47... which would more than make up for the price difference.
But what do I know? My opinion apparently doesn't matter.
