8 People buy the “I Am Rich” App
August 30th, 2008 . by adminThat iPhone app “I Am Rich,” which has been removed from the App Store, actually sold a few copies. I’m not just talking about one or two gullible people. Eight different people downloaded the app. What did they do? See the $999 price tag and think “Hmm, I wonder what happens when I press ‘Buy’?” iPhone Software Downloads
Okay, maybe I’m being too harsh. Some that have bought the app are demanding that they get their money back. Apparently, it was thought to be a joke. I’m sorry, but I highly doubt Apple would post a “joke” app on the App Store that doesn’t actually deduct money from your account when you press “Buy!”
And sure, the app was asinine, but at least the developer was honest about the app’s function. I mean, he straight up said it did nothing at all! But I digress.
