Gotta agree with Jerry. I use it on my work computer and love it (free version) and I even though about buying the plus version but $29 is too much. If it was $9.99 I would have done it a long time ago.

I just got your email about there being a Plus version to Xobni, and so I ran over to check it out.

Guys, I have to tell you, in my opinion you need to rethink your pricing. $29 puts it outside the range of an inpulse buy. I think you’re shooting yourselves in the foot, especially since everyone already has a free (non-plus) version that works perfectly well. I’m not going to plunk down thirty bucks on a whim. I’m going to think about it and probably put it off.

If, however, it were in the $7-$9 range (closer to an iPhone app price) I would have impulse bought it. Boom. You’d have my money. My gut feeling is you’d have 10 times as many people buying for $9 than you will for $29. You do the math. Lower price higher volume, you’d score bigger.

Hope this helps. Love the product. Not willing to pay $30 for it, though.
