      What's the most expensive app/game you've ever purchased?
      I don't mean IAPs.

      For me, it was this longman English audio dictionary I got last year - bought it for like $29.99! Had to get it cause English is my second language :D....it did come in pretty handy cause of the audio pronunciations, but when I think abt it, its hardly worth the ridiculous price.

      EDIT: The most expensive game I ever got was Broken sword: Smoking Mirror ($6.99) - totally worth it imo! One of the best games I've played on the iOS :)

      The most expensive app I've bought would be CoD: Zombies, with each map it was around 30$
      (does that count?)

      If not, then it would be 16$ for FFT: TWoTL.

      It was actually $9.99 + $4.99 x 2 + tax. Pretty lame the entire package went down to $4.99 once the 4th map came out. Guess it was a good business decision though since the game has charted incredibly well ever since until Black Ops Zombies came out.

      Second is FFT here as well. Couldn't spend that $16.99 on FFIII so I waited for the sale ($11.99), lol. Third place is probably the original Chaos Rings at $12.99. I believe I spent $9.99 + $2.99 + $0.99 on Red Alert though for all the content, so that's third place unless the base game only cost $6.99 instead of $9.99.

      Haven't ever bought any consumable iAPs before for a freemium game.

      Mine was Aralon for 4.99, which I deeply regretted, cuz it went down to a buck like the next week.

      For a game - Shadowgun at £5.49 ($7.99)
      But theres loads of others that I got at premium prices (over £4/$6)

      App co-pilot UK and Ireland Premium for £19.99 (sale price!) ($28.99)
      Still half the price as tomtom :)

      That must suck! I thought its universal?

      EDIT: just had a look at some screenshots. Wow, it looks terrible for a 16 dollar game!

      Espgaluda HD at 10.99$. Am sure the other Cave Fanboys out here have shelled out as much.

      TomTom USA. I have my nits about this GPS navigation app, but it has still been more than worth the asking price. I have gotten endless use out of it and it works well. My main nit is with how you can't zoom/scroll the preview map for a route, which seems pretty crazy. Some other stuff. I keep wondering if the Garmin app is better, but not sure I want to risk the money on that since otherwise TomTom works great.
