    Haven't had many disasters. Annoys me when some devs won't update their game. Eg mutant Mudds. Just crashes instantly on ios8 and apparently the devs won't update it. Won't buy anything from them again

    Games... ~75% (back when I had my iPod 4th gen I did bought a lot of IAPs and no sense apps)
    Apps... ~90% I don't spend a lot on apps per se, however I've never been too disappointed on what I buy.

    Apps? 50%. No lie.
    Games? 75%.

    Still trying to change that.

    Probably 70% games, maybe a little higher since joining TA.

    about 10%. Toucharcade overexcites me about games. Then get them, and how many am I playing in a year's time- about 0 or 1.

    You mean the app hoarding addiction where you buy apps that you only touch?

    (And the side affect that some get that causes you to install and reinstall games but barely play them each time?)

    They've all been worth the money in my opinion, just sometimes not something that grabs me. Wayward Souls for example, is definatly worth the money, but for me, I just didn't "get it"

    I've stopped buying so much at least until I catch up playing some of the stuff I haven't touched. Quite shocked some stuff on my device has been sat in my "New" folder for over a year lol

    Yeah. There are very few games that I've purchased that weren't worth what I paid for them so I would say 95%. Maybe higher.

    If you asked me a few years ago I would say 90% but these days it's way down 40%.

    Percentage about the same and its time-invested play so a prior research is done as well.
    Apps about the same too.

    I do research, but I can never know how much I will actually enjoy a game or app once I own it.

    True, that happened to me with both H&C games, I just can't enjoy them that much.

    I rarely go above a couple of dollars, so really it's probably close to 100% for me.

    Excellent question, let me see what I currently have installed

    Don't Starve - no, played under 30 mins
    This war of mine - yes
    Card crawl - yes
    Pixa - YES!
    Battleheart legacy - no :(
    FTL - no
    Xcom - no
    Kotor - yes
    Sproggiwood - no
    Craft the world - no
    Grimrock - no
    Bards tale - yes
    Dungeon quest Viii - no, total waste of money
    Pirates - yes
    Junk jack X - yes
    Ace patrol - yes
    Space miner - no

    Seems I have quite a few that weren't worth the price, surprising. Guess I should take more care before buying.
