I've had the exact same experience with respect to my iOS app: https://zetabee.com/tip-of-my-tongue/
No matter what price ($0.99 - $9.99) I set, I make the same gross revenue. Reviews tend to be nicer when people buy it for $2.99 - $4.99.

As a content producer who works closely with engineers, I can vouch that good content requires no less training and effort than good apps. A novel-length ebook probably takes more time and effort to produce (for any level of quality) than an app. I'd imagine an album of music requires even more. Yet we we never hear stories about perfect price elasticity in content.
I'm genuinely curious if price elasticity holds true in content and, if so, why we haven't heard as much about it.
In spite of this my intuition tells me to price it at $.99 when Apple features it, and between $1.99 and $2.99 when people are hunting for it.
