How many apps do you actually buy in a year?

I've bought over a dozen in the last 6 months. Of course, I just started in the Windows Phone ecosystem, and several of the apps I bought were universal apps for my laptop also.

I do have MyAppFree, and have also gotten several there that I probably would not have bought otherwise, but the programs I felt I needed or were quite useful, I have paid for.

I was using Night Stand Clock Lite regularly, and decided since I got so much use out of it I should support the developer, even though I didn't need the paid-for features (and still don't use them.) The day I decided to pay for the app, it was on MyAppFree. I felt like the developer deserved to get paid, so I waited another day and paid for it, when I could have gotten it on MyAppFree. I believe for a good and useful app, a developer deserves to be paid.

I've actually put out nearly $40 on one particular app, because I really found the add-ons useful and made several in-app purchases. Well worth it to me.

I've never bought a game, though, as I don't find games useful or beneficial to me. I need apps to help me get things done, not games to keep me occupied. I stay quite busy enough, and don't need a game addiction that would keep me from spending personal face time with my wife and children.

I am preferential to beer over ice cream...

Beer flavoured ice cream?

Hey there,
We support Indy devs like Nate Monster, the SongArc team etc., and we purchase anything we require that is not freemium. We do not and will not support the freemium model. Price is not an issue as most people spend more at Tim's (that's Starbucks for our southern friends) in a month than they would on apps in a year. For example, we bought SongArc for$15.00 and didn't blink an eye. On average probably about 6 or so a year. We just don't need any more than that with the current selection available.
