Upcoming tax and price changes for apps and in-app purchases - Latest News - Apple Developer

When taxes or foreign exchange rates change, we sometimes need to update prices on the App Store. In the next few days, prices of apps and in-app purchases (excluding auto-renewable subscriptions) on the App Store will increase in Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa...

I was saw some paid apps on the App Store are higher than I remember, so I googled and found the link above.

Anyone know how often they review? ZAR has strengthened significantly against USD over the past couple of days.

They don't review daily, so micro-fluctuations in the currency does not play a part in the App store pricing.

I'd assume they review yearly, and take the average exchange rate into account.

Annually makes sense, unless you have a change significant enough to warrant a mid-term review.

Sucks for me though - I’d been planning to get Logic Pro X at R2999 and now just a few weeks later it’s R3799. US Store has it for $199
