Of course they do. Those who want to support the developers for the hard work. Some people make a living off those apps, mind you.

Very few developers will work for free.

If you don't pay anything upfront, developers will usually have alternative business models, like showing you ads, mining your data, spamming you with IAP offers...

I, by far, prefer the former business model: Pay a cheap price upfront, then get treated like a respected customer. What's $2 for an app when people gladly pay $60+/month for their smartphone plan? It also wasn't that long ago that people paid $30-40 a pop for simple Game Boy games.

The only thing that wasn't already said is that you're an idiot commenter who thinks he's cool for replying first.

Pirating is something to brag about? Majority of apps in the App Store are under $5, don't be a cheapskate. Haha.

On topic, Launch and Clear are must-haves for me. Incredible apps.
