I like being able to see and use the app first. If something really adds value to my life I'm ok paying more than $5 dollars for it, but I don't want to spend $5 before I know that it will work. There are lots of terrible apps, and spending money on a bad one feels like getting scammed

If curation were better, then I might be willing to just pay $5 for a highly rated app that claims to solve my problem.

Of course, if curation were better, the app in the article wouldn't have been approved.
