Once upon a time you didn't have to justify your pricing. Thanks App Store.

Why is the pricing of this an App Store issue?

I prefer Yorufukurou over over the other clients I have tried, and its free on the App Store or the developer's site.

Because the App Store devalued the price of software. $0.99 was not normal before 2008. You can't build and maintain great software on $0.99.
