I think the future means that magic apps need to charge enough to recoup costs and make a profit - the audience for magic apps is probably somewhat limited, or more than a typical app.

To me, this is one of the all time great apps.In fact, if Max charged again the original price just to cover the upgrade I'd be more than happy to pay it.
Please consider it Max, it's too good an effect to fade away.

Everyone knows Apple are going to upgrade their software regularly , so why bother making apps in the first place if you are not going to upgrade them or maybe if we like the app enough we should not upgrade our software ? Problems is some upgrades don't affect the apps and some do . SMS text wasn't working properly many upgrades and even I phones ago . I think only got as far as the 4 if I remember correctly ? By the way not blaming anyone for this as I think developers should charge £30 for the good apps in the first place , Mental Killer started out around £50 with a promise it was limited and then Max made it something silly like about £3 . So if it is truly great and limited would pay £50 without question but it is then wrong if enough are not sold at £50 it then goes down to £3 that can't be right IMO .

Hey guys!
Sorry for the delay in responding to this thread regarding updating Mental Killer for iOS 7. I've had a TON of stuff dropped on my plate in life none of which do I care to go into details about. I now also own a brick and mortar magic shop along with the performing, lecturing, creating, and app development. Updating to match an OS shift as big as the one from iOS 6 to iOS 7 is not as simple as re-skinning the app. This is by far the most involved update thus far. Right now the app still functions in iOS 7 just fine - it is simply not a perfect visual match for the new phone screen from Apple. I've used MK in the real world with iOS 7 and the dial pad discrepancy has more or less gone unnoticed. If somebody calls you on it, you can tell them you found an app that allows you to modify your dial pad back to it's former state. It's a matter of conviction. In regards to pricing apps. Mental Killer when I first released it was $50.00 and you needed a jailbroken iphone. Once Apple approved it for release in iTunes the price dropped down to $20.00. I even gave refunds to those who wanted it regarding the jailbroken version. The app has gone through several price changes but I also produced an ebook and gave that to those who paid the higher price for free and the ones who paid less than $20 had to send me the difference so that everyone would be on a level playing field. In reality it was me who first put an app out for more than the typical $2.99 - $5.99 price. I then released MACAAN aka Card Stats for $60.00 because I am well aware of how powerful it is and it is more than worth it. So is Mental Killer but you can get it for only $9.99 and the ebook is still available as well. Which I also give a free update to when another iteration of Mental Killer is released. I price my apps based on the value I think they provide you as a perfomer. I know they are strong because I use them every day in paid performances to tremendous effect. You guys all know I try to provide excellent value and service for the money. That's one of the reasons MK has been at it's current price, with the option of in-app purchases. I will probably have another in app purchase to go along with the next update to help generate income to support doing this new update. As some of you have mentioned - this effect is worth its weight in gold - you'll pay WAY more for other mentalism effects that aren't as practical and that you don't use as often. I have no completion time for this and I am not going to promise any specific date. Those of you that know me know it will get done and done right. Good things come to those who wait. In the meantime rest assured I am well aware of the situation. I am also going to release Mental Killer Pro eventually. Again this has been a long time coming but will be a monster once it's released. Best regards, Max

Mental Killer 4.2 was just approved by Apple. You should all be able to update shortly.
Allows you to redial and play the same voicemail for multiple people. Fixed a couple bugs that were causing small issues. Added the F@#$e C***s In App Purchase. You do have the ability to force one card with the update for free. Instructions are found where you would upgrade to More Effects/Tools under F@#$e C***s. More to come...

Just got this app - it is absolute genius. So straightforward to do, and right in front of their eyes, with the misdirection built right in.

I bought this app years ago and I bought the additions when they came out too. It's a good effect but you want another $100 to unlock the custom voicemails! Way too expensive for me.

You can create 10 of your own effects. Did you happen to notice that? I'm not going to ever drop my prices again. Every app I produce is worth more than the small amount I ask for if you are using it regularly. If not, then no price is worth it. Thanks for your support in the past and best wishes. Max

No worries Max and thanks. It's like everything in that if you use it it's worth a lot more and if you don't it's not.
