It's not cheap, but it's very well-done and an entire fourth grade math curriculum in one app.
In 4th Grade Splash Math, players (or parents/teachers) select a mission from 10 different chapters: place value, number sense, algebra, multiplication I, multiplication II, division, fractions, decimals, measurement, and geometry.
Once a chapter is selected, a section, or worksheet, for that chapter must be chosen. For example, after selecting place value, the user must select from numbers up to a million basic, medium, and advanced. Place value has the least number of subsections (3) and multiplication I has the most (26).
There are more than 140 sections/worksheets total, each with approximately 20 multiple-choice questions that are randomized, meaning the tests are different each time, and the description says the app adjusts after each question based on the competency of the player. Really nice stuff.
Our question this time is: What is the most you have spent on an app and why did you choose that app?

The most I have spent on an app was $19.99 to purchase QuickOffice Pro. I needed to be able to access and edit Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets and presentations on the go. I use this on a daily basis for my job.

I buy lots of apps but because I'm looking to put them on 15 devices I rarely spend more than $2 on an app. The most I've spent would be $6.99 on Artrage. We have the PC version at school and I really wanted a mobile version of this fantastic program. Would LOVE the Yr 4 Splash Maths as I will be teaching Stage 2 this year for the first time in 8 years!

The most I've ever spent on an app was $4.99 - but I would go up to 9.99 if the app was really amazing. I hope that I win this space board app - they are really good!

The most I spent was $3.99, I think. It was for irewardchart: Parents Reward Tracker Behavior Chore Chart and it has been worth every penny!

I have what I have consider two high end Apps on the iPad that my speech language students have access to. The first is Injini and it is valued at $49.99 and the second it Articulate It valued at $39.00. Both Apps cost a lot of money but are worth every penny. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be gifted both of them from generous developers. The most I have ever spent out of my own pocket on one App is $9.99 and I have done that a couple of times when I purchased First Phrases, More Fun Following Directions, and First Then. Each of these Apps are also worth the money I spent on them.

The most expensive app is injini for my son that has down syndrome. The ipad is a wonderful learning tool. The injini was 50.00.

The most I've spent so far for an app is Dexteria and it was $4.99. I bought that app for my 6yr old with Autism because it helps with his fine motor skills.

The most I've spent was 19€ in Spaceboards 1 Grade because I won Spaceboards Prek and I did not want to loose the opportinuty to buy it 50% off.

The most I've spent on an app is just under $30 (can't remember if it was 24.99 or 29.99). I bought Injini on sale during the holidays as it is a highly recommended app for children with special needs. I am setting up an iPad to be used with individuals of all ages and with various learning challenges. It will also be used to demonstrate apps for parents and professionals. I felt the money was well spent!

I love Touch Chat ($299.99)and as an augmentative communication specialist, spend a lot of time with it. I think it is the best communication app out right now! Because I demo so many apps, I have to be careful about what I buy. Would love a promo code for this one.

I have not bought any. I am new at this whole app teaching idea.
