Probably will not sound like a totally unexpected news but according to the opinion of the big companies to Purchase In-App is a real failure.

Was to be expected because usually users who purchase an application are not very responsive to spend more money to get them to function in more than a level pack add-on.

Pangea Software, with one million copies sold in riddles, said that only 20-25 people a day using the in-app purchase and expectations were much larger.
