Yeah, they sure do – and I definitely had some 'yikes' moments when looking through as well. 🙂

Yikes. I didn't realize I had spent $273. .99 and 4.99 and 9.99 add up fast over a year. Pretty interesting.

In reply to AndyM. Yup, I noticed the same on the prices listed for some apps.

In reply to patrickj. That makes sense. I just looked at the detail of the apps, and many of them are different than what I actually paid. It looks like they are the prices as they are today.

In reply to AndyM. I imagine it just looks at a standard directory location to find names for all downloaded apps, then cross references those with a DB that holds pricing info for apps, and does some adding up. That's just my rough guess.

Come to think of it…. how does this app work? I didn't have to put any info in it (logins, etc.) I just launched the app and it calculated the amount.

Wow… they add up! I've spent $246.08. Cool app, thanks for sharing.
