oh phooey ..... And i paid $6.99 for Infinite Blade III :( i wanna refund.
How many hours of entertainment have you gotten for the $7 you paid?

(My point... apps are ridiculously underpriced in general. Even at regular prices, bang for the buck is off the charts for most apps, when you compare to, say, anything else in the real world :P )

Wow, Notability with iPad Pro is SO good. The brush engine is incredible - such outstanding levels of control and lag free. A total bargain at $0.99.

Very nice, honestly- most of these apps have been discounted many times before, some even at deeper discounts (while some have been offered for free).
Still, if missed the first time around (or, the second...) it's cool here is yet another opportunity.

Which ones have been offered for free?
Only one of these apps has been cheaper than this sale, Oceanhorn was 3.99 once.

So, nope.
Appshopper will show you the price history of all apps. Select the app activity tab.
