    Too many to list but just to name a few:
    Prey Invasion - just plain terrible
    Alien crisis - and i paid for this?
    My brute - just dont get the point. maybe if i had some sort of control in the fights themselves rather then just committing to someone's dojo
    Robocalypse - didn't live up to my expectations
    International Athletics - personally preferred the more simple track and field
    Iron Fist boxing 3 - Fantastic graphics do not make a good game
    Flick Fishing - found it boring and repetitive
    Samurai WOTW - the constant swiping motion became very boring after a while
    Stick wars/Cartoon Wars - got sucked into all the positive hype
    Asphalt 4 - terrible game once the update came out
    BMW F1 - had high hopes from watching gameplay vids on youtube
    Horror racing - fun for a while but then just didn't see the point
    Crazy Choppers - really wanted to like it
    Wings Galaxy - looked brilliant but again, graphics do not make a good game
    Dexter - really wanted to love it but couldn't get into it
    Hero Of Sparta - could have been one of the best but it was way too short
    Hip Hop All Star/DJ Mix Tour - normally love music rhythm games but meh
    World of Tunes - see above
    Payback - meh for a sandbox style game
    Genesis - didn't see the point
    Cockadoodle Inc - for a time management game it didn't grab me like sallys spa, sallys salon,ranch rush, supermarket mania or standofood
    Ny Nights - so the point is...?
    Caster - just meh for a platformer
    5 Minutes To Kill Yourself - shame too cause i loved Amateur Surgeon
    GoGo Rescue - to slow to hold my attention
    Rolando + Rolando 2 - I know, blasphemey! But i just never got into them, although i have high hopes of doing so one day cause my gf loves them
    Topple 1 + 2 - found them to be too boring
    ICC Twenty 20 - for a sports game i felt it was too slow paced, even if it was for cricket
    Metal Gear Solid - old-school MGS fan and was sorely dissapointed
    Both resident evil titles - see above

    I regret buying energy cells for a buck when I realized the other ones are a way better deal.

    Too many to count. HoS was a massive let down, yet everyone was raving about it at the time.

    Hi,

    I have had a few that I have regretted paying the price they were at the time of purchase.

    They were Need For Speed and Tiger Woods and I bought them the first day out purely on impulse and regret paying full price.

    If I had paid the $4.99 they are going for now, I would not be posting this.

    Part of it, mostly is amount of time I use either of them and the Tiger Woods game has some issues that need to be fixed.

    The one app I totally regret and would not recommend is the American Heritage Desk reference dictionary from Enfour.

    The description is totally misleading and I get better and more information from a ninety nine cent one I bought, Wordbook.

    My one consolation is that the appstore rep I was put in touch with agreed with the issues I had and refunded my purchase.

    It was the one app I bought and was not concerned with the price and it was lousy.

    I just research more and impulse buy less now.

    Lesson learned.

    David

    I can't believe I ever purchased "Pet The Cow". I thought it would be interactive and have sound and at least animations, not a few frames and a speech bubble that says "Moo". HUGE waste of money. Even little kids wouldn't like it.

    I regret buying Zenonia and Sim City. Lost interest to both of those in 10 minutes mainly because of serious control issues. I will probably not go buy anything anymore that doesn't have a free demo version available also.

    lol

    Even if it was the best, most interactive cow petting simulator with rich sounds and amazing animations in the app store, why would you even buy it?

    Brings back memories of petting cows back on the farm as a young lad?

    TTR3 and Prey Invasion are probably my biggest regrets... TTR3 is too loaded down with crap and I dislike it. TTR2 is much better. Prey Invasion sucks, is extremely short, and way too easy.
