Developing software is a hard and skilled work, but making it ready for end-users is even harder. Properly finishing, testing, documenting, packaging and supporting an app is NO FUN at all. You want to get a proper app? Pay a little something for it. You paid hundreds of $ for the hardware and dozens for $ for the services. Why not pay a few $ for a premium app? 12k is perhaps a two month salary for a skilled western developer - how much time did go into Stellarium over the years?
I have no problem with paying for an app. But I can't pay for stellarium because it's not in the OVI-Store. The ported desktop-Version is not bad but there is one big annoying thing: The font is not readable. Directly after starting the program it is readable but then more an more the font is broken. That why I eagerly awaiting stellarium mobile. In the video there are no problems with the fonts.
