The Apple App Store is home to over 500,000 apps, most of which are available for free or under three dollars. However, the App Store also houses apps that cost as much as a stack! Most of these high-priced apps target very specific markets, and are accompanied by a service. We assume a number of them aren’t downloaded often, as most don’t have any reviews or ratings. Or maybe rich people don’t feel the need to rate and review apps—who knows. What we do know is we’d be hard-pressed to spend this much dough on a mobile app. What about you? Check out the most expensive apps sold in the Apple App Store.
