NFHS rules app for Iphone

[Bad Zebra]

Is anyone else irritated that it's $6 a pop for the publications? I pay .99 for apps that have hundreds of hours of development and programming invested in them. $6 would make it the second most expensive app on my phone.

If it is the ITunes store, there are more expensive apps. Not so sure about the Android as I do not use many apps for my phone anymore.

Volume sales (or lack thereof)...only so many people are going to buy a rulebook app. The NFHS's primary source of funding is rulebooks....they want to make about that amount of money from each person that is willing to buy a rulebook. They need it to exist. Without it, they'd not be able to do the things they do. Of course, one could argue that they do not need to do all the things they do (yearly rules changes, for one, but that leads to more book sales). But that is another issue.

$6 and you get the rules book, case book, and all the cross-referencing. Most e-books bought from Amazon or Apple are more than 99 cents.

I really don't mind the 6 bucks, but it would be nice if updates were included. I pay for the rule and case books every other year.
I think I am going to try this app , but after the rule changes in the fall.

This is for convenience and convenience only for the user honestly and another way for the NF to make some money off of their product like other books they sell. And you can pay a lot more money for other e-books like you stated which can be a much bigger cost than two books that normally cost about $6 or $7 on by themselves if you order the books in paper form.

So if someone likes the PDF version I am sure that is fine for those users. To me this is like any technology you buy or use, it is up to the people buying it to say if it is worth it. There are a lot of other things that cost much more than $6 that are not worth the paper it cost to use.
