    Hey boxers,

    i am about to finish my first game and i stumbled upon the question whether i should charge a little something for my app (79,-) or make it free to play....
    Whats your experience and / or recommendation?

    A little information about my game if relevant:
    its a simple game app with math equations to solve in order to pass. So its a combination of fun and "learning". The target group would be kids and or adults who want to get better at mental arithmetic.
    I don't really have in app purchases to offer other than another tune to chose from or Ad-free but i prefer to make it ad free in general.

    I'd love to see a trailer of this game, if possible.
    Also, if it's the first app/game you've ever published, I would recommend making it a free one.
