I'm surprised at the complaining about the $3 price. If something saves me 2 minutes of time, or makes my life the least bit more enjoyable, I'm more than happy to pay $3 for it. That's less than adding bacon and cheese to 2 hamburgers, a coffee out, or a 6 pack of coke.
It's a truly trivial amount of money, and if you'd otherwise like the application, not buying it because it's "too expensive" astounds me.
