[WTF] Is Roku giving away the store?!

However, there is still a bug when using the latest version of Internet Explorer, both on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Any price of $0.99 is displayed as %{price}.99 - But all other prices ending in 99c seem to work: $1.99, $2.99, etc.
I would call this a separate bug (albeit possibly related behind the scenes), which in a perfect world should get a separate thread.

My concern in this thread is - why did RokuCo start selling $0.99 apps for $0.00? I saw a successful sale of my non-free app for $0.00 in the transaction log, so i gather the issue is not just cosmetic!

Other developers with $ apps - are you seeing such $0 shenanigans in your sale logs for March? (I am guessing this started when the monthly bug-o-web was cast).

That’s usually one of us testing your app, or someone on the business team giving a demo.

I haven’t seen that happen before - and there is no new version for testing. It may be unrelated and just suspiciously coincidental with the “$0.00 sale” on the web site. Or, it might be the opposite of unrelated…

Can you look up the account who did it? Here is a datum:


Event Date     = 3/04/16 22:43
Roku Account   = 38896375
Transaction ID = 85C45A88-3B27-46AD-ADBD-A5BF00F2C00A
Amount         = 0
