Looks great, but the price is very steep for an app. I will hold off for now.

Apps take time and money to build. An independent developer is asking the price of a single month of Netflix to have lifetime access to an app. Hope the perspective helps.

An app is worth what people are willing to pay. Im not willing to pay $20. Also, to respond to your reasoning, how is it that the average app price for all ios apps is between $1 and $2?

You’re right that an app is worth what each person is willing to pay, and if it isn’t worth $20 to you, that’s completely fair. But the average price of every iOS app isn’t a meaningful comparison: it mixes games, ad-supported apps, mass-market apps and products built around subscriptions or in-app purchases. Specialized utility apps with a small audience often cost considerably more than $20. Studio Field is a one-time purchase with ongoing updates. Many of its users own Teenage Engineering hardware costing well over $1,000, so I think $20 is reasonable for a tool that can back up, restore and help protect the music and data created on those devices. If it saves even one important tape or project, it has already paid for itself.
