Tonight I happened to look at my app library count. You know the one, it&#8217;s that little number at the bottom of your app library which tells you how many applications you&#8217;ve downloaded so far. <\/p>\n<p>Mine current reads <strong>987<\/strong>. Shortly after <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/razorianfly\/status\/3195400293\" target=\"_Blank\">tweeting<\/a> this fact on Twitter, I thought it&#8217;d be good for both myself and others to see just what 987 applications look like.<\/p>\n<p>Cue the image below.

With running a review site like RazorianFly, I also have the luxury of using App Store promo codes. Having said this, I haven&#8217;t received 987 promo codes! <\/p>\n<p>Some are actually bought. In fact if I was to try and guess at a percentage out of that 987 that are actually paid for, I&#8217;d guess at 40%. It&#8217;s safe to say I&#8217;m going to cut back my App Store spending jaunts from now on.
