Free with In-App Purchase is a sham

Unfortunately, this is how you beat human psychology. Typical user thought process goes something like the following…

“I’m not paying $4.99 for a whozamuzzle app! That’s ridiculous. Ooh, here’s a free one! Oh look if I pay $1.99 a month for premium I get all these cool extra features! Whoa there’s a deal where if I pay $14.99 I get a lifetime subscription? Sold!”

Yes, an up front one time license fee would be better for users in most cases, but that doesn’t compete well with “free” with an asterisk.
