[...] I know I’m not the only one who has experienced this. Daniel Jalkut at Red Sweater Blog had a similar experience with his recent release and subsequent update of his new application, FlexTime. [...]

I don’t know if chucky’s coming back, but I feel like trying to save Daniel some typing. Not that the guy needs a defender, but he wrote this recently:

The issue of the price of the software is not taken lightly around here, as you’ll see if you take the time to read it.

Some helpful suggestions for you. I’d buy your app, except for…

I don’t like v1.0 apps. If you released v2.0 tomorrow with no additional features, I’d be more inclined to buy.

I think the app isn’t worth a penny more than $16.95. If you lowered the cost to $16.95, I’d buy 4 licenses, but at the current price, I can’t justify buying a single license.

The trial period isn’t long enough to fully and properly evaluate the app. Evaluation should be a very, very thorough process.

Finally, and most importantly, I see you are shipping the app with 128×128 icons. I intend to transition to Leopard next year, and a higher density display eventually, and I won’t want ugly low-res 128×128 icons cluttering up my dock. Because of this, I cannot justify purchasing your app.

It is quite nice, however.
