Today we continue our conversation with Michael Simmons of Flexibits, maker of Fantastical. Michael discusses the reasons he sells Fantastical for Mac through his website as well as through the App Store, and the pointlessness of obsessing over App Store chart position. He goes on to share why he increased the price of Fantastical, the price increase’s impact on his profitability, and the entitled attitudes that he sees as a side effect of the devaluation of software.
