I think news paywalls need to be bundled in not with other newspapers but other subscription services.

I'd kill for a Netflix/Spotify/choose-your-newspaper all in one bundle.

Cheers!

Nothing planned at the moment, but I've been thinking about it. Hard to sync events with times into a diary where there is no concept of time. Even harder to go back the other way.

Hi Dan,

I didn't do too much research to be honest. As a beginner, in-app purchasing looked a bit daunting, so I decided to start simple with an up-front cost. I chose the Tier 2 price so I can run promos to the Tier 1 ($0.99) price from time to time.

Down the track I might look at making it free with in-app purchase or something though.

Hi kadder,

No I didn't, except for the Twitter-designed emoji and a few icons from an icon pack I purchased. I looked at many libraries for the month view but I ended up just making it myself so I could control exactly how it looked and felt.

It does look a bit weird doesn't it!

Thanks! Looking at implementing something similar as a week view for the app.

The biggest problem I have had with travel planning startups is that many of them focus too much and too quickly on monetisation - often leading to a poor user experience.

When I'm travel planning, I like to somewhat explore the destination (like reading a guide book) and think about what to do, where to stay etc -- rather than being immediately shown a list of hotels & airfares.

Someone should really make an 'Airbnb' for High Speed Internet Connections around the world. Hotels, universities, internet cafes, business centres - a lot of businesses would pay to find high speed internet locations around the world for business trips

Also works much more reliably in foreign countries where Google services may be slow/blocked

The launch of the iPhone 5s/5c, we saw price rises in Australia due to the Aussie dollar.

I think it's likely we'll see similar price rises on the release of the new iPads shortly
