    Hi Robin. I really enjoy your podcast, but have one minor request. Often, when you are talking about apps that are new you fail to mention their price. It seems like a small thing, but it is information I would like to have before deciding to investigate an app further.

    Thanks,

    p.s. Can you investigate when the new Starbucks app might be coming to Canada? As a regular consumer of their coffee, I would love to have this app. Thanks again.

    Thanks so much for making PicTranslator your app of the day!! It means a lot and we really appreciate it.

    Quick note: the links to PicTranslator have an extra tag in them and currently aren’t working.

    Thanks all the same and keep up the great work!
    Justin

    Hey Angus! No problem, I’ll try to include the price for all apps I talk about. Also, I’ll definitely look into that Starbucks app for you.
