My son and I compared. SA store was R16.99 and US was $1,99. At today exchange rate it is R31 odd. For US you need a voucher which has a cost or avUD credit card. So unless you have Forex you have been way more. Or you bought a voucher before R10/$ and still have credit. But you should be affected.
Fair point & true but I should point out/add that I seldom actually purchase Apps or other content. I use the US Store for its variety.
Having said that just morning I bought a $2.99 App; rather expensive for me! With my Store Credit. It's been a fair few months I last bought an App.
It's a lovely Converter that has 3D Touch; I'm big on that now; as well as Spotlight Integration.
Besides that it allows me to convert pound-foot into Newton-meters. Many converters I've had has not been able to do that.
The other selling point is the straight forward design.
