1. This one is huge – Lemur on sale through Dec 4 for $10, vs $25:

   https://liine.net/en/products/lemur/

   1. As a temporary measure we’ve removed Lemur iOS from the App Store. This means users who haven’t already updated to 5.3 won’t be able to and new customers won’t be able to buy the app for a short time. The reason for this is that 5.3 is causing a critical event (crash on start), which wasn’t detected on our in-house devices or those of beta testers. We only became aware of this upon releasing the update, and it’s clear now that this isn’t a few special cases, but a widespread problem which warrants pulling temporarily from sale.

      1. sad , was interested in getting it
         could have posted this info on itunes, instead of the not available in country

2. Native’s iMaschine 2 also on sale for $4.99 (normal price $9.99) through Dec 1.
