What's your investment? - PSA ;-)
For those who aren't aware and perhaps interested, there's an app called AppZap that allows you to flag all the apps you own and provides a cost associated to them. I believe it uses the current pricing, but for me I think it averages out. I paid more for some apps and less for others depending on whether I got them on sale or not. It might be of interest, so you can track what you have invested.
Also, you can set alerts for apps that go on sale, which I use quite a bit.
Another aspect is that you can share your coollections with the online community. I don't use that much, but it's there.
My investment is almost embarrassing, but I rationalize it by the amount of fun and what I've learned about music.

I use that one to alert me to sales and new apps. I wouldn't use it to track how much I've spent though...I don't think my wallet could take the shock!
A number I'd rather not know! I use my devices a lot for music but I don't seem to finish much.

What he said I must almost exactly (and perhaps shamefully but happily) echo.
I have spent an awful lot on apps but I have spent one hell of a lot more on hardware. Yes the hardware is better at this point by far but ios is holding enough promise I am not complaining to much on the price and I still have a lot of fun with apps in conjunction with the hardware. No one made me buy any of it ( except Doug , curse his videos) just kidding Doug. No regrets.
I don't think I want to know. At one point I had a look at my receipts and I estimated about £100 a month. But that was early on when I was buying up lots of stuff I was discovering. I've slowed down a lot now... No really, I have
.
As mentioned in an earlier group meeting I used to buy a good bottle of wine (or two or three) for dinner every night. Appaholia is a far cheaper addiction (in many, many ways).
True.
When I bought the iPad I planned to just buy cubasis and load audio stems from my hardware for mixing away from home.
Then I found the app store and the onslaught began...
But, at the start of the year I nearly dropped over a grand on a single hardware synth.
In terms of what I can do now compared to what I would have been able to do, the spend on apps has been a sound investment.
Every app I ever bought < my guitar. Sadly the apps get more use these days.
Cowards! ;-). Note, this is not a number I share with my wife, so I guess I'm in good company.

Exactly this. I started a spreadsheet once, trying to calculate what it would cost to reproduce my "soft" studio in hardware... e.g. going on ebay and seeing how much each old drum machine in funkbox costs, etc.
I've spent quite a bit, but if I had to do it in hardware, how much would it be? it wouldn't surprise me if the hardware version of my iPad studio would cost $100,000 or more in meatspace.
And that's just if you consider the "soft" instruments that you can map to literal "hard" counterparts. It doesn't include soft instruments that don't exist in hardware. E.G. Korg Gadget presents a bunch of gadgets that, in the hardware world, would cost thousands of dollars as a bundle.
Also, I've been very patient about app sales. I'd say at least half of my music apps were on sale for about 50% off or more when I bought them. I also buy itunes cards at a discount on ebay, essentially getting another 20% of my "cart" (which could include sale and regular priced items). So, I'm getting a minimum 20% discount, and 20% more of any thing on sale.
Recently, I've been instabuying new apps more often (a new habit for me) for two reasons:
Of course, this isn't anywhere near apples and oranges, but when I look at it this way, I'm flabergasted at the value. When I was a kid, I had a casiotone and an RX-11. Those two instruments are molecules in the studio universe on my ipad.
