There are high quality apps, maybe more than ever. Maybe not on the Mac, but for iOS.

In my experience, people actually pay for quality, even more than they used to. Back in the say, an app was like 99 cents. Nowadays, most apps are way more expensive or have some kind of subscription, which is okay for apps that are maintained and improved over many years.

I'm willing to pay for quality. The main problem is convincing me of the quality before buying.

Subscription-based pricing actually solves this – in a way.

I don't really want to pay rent.

I’m just curious because I’m not a heavy mobile app user. The only apps on my phone right now that I feel really good are free. I paid for many apps but most haven’t been updated in years and have a lot to improve. Where are the good apps?

Procreate, Concepts, and fusion are the ones that come to mind. There are probably very few paid apps people buy for purely content consumption outside of games. But for content creators there is a fairly wide selection of pro apps that are pretty good.

Luma fussion just updated to allow you to video edit directly from an external SSD without having to import/export to local storage.
