Is it really that bad? 1.8 stars on app store

Hi All -- 

After just getting C1 22 last year, now the upgrade has come again with what seems like only 3 new features -- weee -- so there's that fee.  

PLUS the ipad fee.  But is it really worth that amount with such bad ratings(1.8 which is pretty terrible) in the app store? Doesn't seem like anyone is listening because over the last 5 months there have been no positive alterations that seem to silence the critics.  

THanks for the advise!

  It’s a well crafted application, but it meets the needs of a very restricted user group right now. For some of that group it may be worth the price. But it is almost useless for a more general audience who might expect something more along the lines of Lightroom for iPad.  CaptureOne seem generally to be targeting event, fashion and wedding pros as a strategy. Maybe that’s where the money is.

  Thanks David Mantripp for your thoughts.  I was surprised [rather shocked] to see that the Lightroom for iPad gets a 4.8 on the App Store, while again this one gets 1.8!

  I guess App Store ratings are very subjective.  In terms of App design, stability, etc, I would rate CaptureOne equal to or a touch higher than Lr.  In terms of the end-to-end functionality, for me CaptureOne iPad doesn't in any way hit the target.  But in terms of what it actually promises to deliver, there's no issue.  So since at present it is not relevant to mer, I would not rate it.     I imagine other low ratings are from people taking a wider view, and of objecting to paying (more) for it.

  But objectively "1.8" is just absurd.
