The value story

The value story

20 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 393 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. Chinatris ($1.99, scores 69) outscores it, and so does Influent Language Learning Game ($9.99, scores 28). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
