Sky safari 6

Can anyone assist.....
I was looking at Sky Safari for the iPad. They have a flash sale for us$9.99 but when you go to the Apple store the price seems to be $14.99 which I assume is the usual price in us$.
How can you get the sale price????

Apple store in AU always displays the AUD price so $14.99 AUD is the equivalent to $9.99 USD using Apple exchange rate.

Usually a big sale hints at a new version looming (but not always). SS6 has been out for a while. Could be Easter special.

I got caught by that too initially and was trying to work out if Sky Safari Pro 6 was 42.99 US or AUD. Its not the best price it has been ($30.99) but better than the $62.99 AUD it was advertised at. I like the details of targets and some background history in it and have used it for observing. I got the Pro version as you can drive mounts with it. I also like reading the details and having a play especially if the weather is not good so I can plan and be ready for those moments when seeing is good

The other versions look great but wished to have the full package this time (and also have Stellarium Plus as I really liked the older version I had used for a few years that was free I think at the time). Sky Safari is pretty pricey for what it is and Stellarium in my experience and IMHO is a great program for astro (and cheaper!).
