Are there legit apps over $100 ?
4 comments

Pretty much all AAC apps. If you license one of the decent TTS libraries, they require you to keep the price above $100 and take 20% of the net.
I recall one that helped you study for the bar exam and was really expensive. I assumed it was legitimate.
This one I think: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/barmax-ca/id345722008?mt=8

Called BarMax. They even call it "cheaper" on their official web-site. Which just raises the question: cheaper than /what/?

$999 is cheap for a bar review. Prices do vary from state to state, but BarMax, Barbri, and Kaplan all offer programs for the CA bar.

Barbri for California: $4,135 http://www.barbri.com/courseInfo/barReviewCourse/pricing.htm...

Kaplan for California $2,190 http://www.kaptest.com/Bar-Exam/Bar-Review-Courses/General-B...

Cheaper than other forms of Bar Exam prep like BarBri or Kaplan which run in the thousands.
Cheaper than the books it replaces, which I heard cost thousands of dollars.
Sure -- plenty.

Here's another example. It replaces a custom hardware gadget that costs much more: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tunelab-piano-tuner/id335568...
