Comment on IOS app store has created unrealistic pricing expectationsparent

>An MPG tracking app that gives me nice Excel sheets might not be enough to warrant $10 in the eyes of users, and I don't think that's necessarily Apple's fault or the market's fault. Maybe it's just that the niche you're targeting won't sustain the price you want, and unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles when selling software like this.

Gas Cubby is a terrific app and I don't believe it's a niche. I think it's rather important in the US where many drive cars just because it reminds you where servicing is due. It suffers on gas station and prices because it's not easy to get these stats and prices change on a daily basis. I think the app suffers from a lack of advertisement.

There is still room for improvement within the app and to make it a necessity for all drivers.
