Lance,
Thanks for the feedback! The $1.99 price was an introductory price. We
gave a two month warning that the price will increase, allowing users
to download the app at $1.99 with plenty of time. While we aim to keep
our applications and products as affordable as possible, we also have
to cover our operations so we can be around to innovate and develop
for the visually impaired smartphone community.
The price increase is not particularly based on the value that the
additional currencies and languages add, but the value of the entire
app itself.
