Question: Expensive software?
Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 3:00AM What’s the most you have spent on mobile and desktop software? On mobile, I think it was £50 for WorldMate many years ago and on desktop it would have been the Windows 7 upgrade.

I think it was TextMaker for the Pocket PC, but it had the advantage of including the desktop software as well. IIRC it was around $40. Desktop was probably the last non-cheap version of OS X when they still cost $129. I think that would have been Leopard.
TomTom, I'd have thought.
Not sure about on my computer - potentially 1Password.
On desktop, probably windows licence as a single item.
I've also made shareware donations to things like Irfanview (which is IMNSHO a fantastic image tool, ideal for newbies who need to do all the basics with pictures), addblock plugins for browsers, and other utilities.
On mobile, copilot was my biggest purchase.
For iOS, probably TomTom. For the Desktop, Microsoft Office. Actually, it's probably Windows. I've bought some PCs that didn't automatically include it.
£25 on copilot premium
Ouch for me as worst ever was approx £200 for Photoshop. This year worst is £69 to update my lightroom.
On mobile - was approx £7 for Docs to Go - on a special. But broke it this year with FF approx £10.
