Is this "Unofficial Gamesalad Textbook" app worth $25? Does anybody own it?

Hello Everyone,

A couple of months ago, I ran across this app, but it was $25, so I wasn't wanting to invest in it. Just recently, I thought of it again, but still can't decide if it is worth it and if it is advanced enough. The reviews look promising at 4 1/2 stars... but I was wondering what the main GS community thought of it.

Here is the link to the app:

I think the general consensus was that it has some useful information and could be of help to people just starting out with GS. I personally decided that $25 is too much to pay for information I could get through the many videos, tutorials, and helpful GS community available right here. It's up to you to decide if it would be a worthwhile investment.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I will skip out this one as I'm already almost done with my first app.

I had bought it a while back... I think GS 0.8.6

Its good, but I do think now with all the video tutorials on hand from TShirtBooth its a little over priced.

Yeah it's steep I'll give you that.

But GS users are a small market, and compiling all that info takes time.

I have the book, and one thing that's nice about it , is that it's easy to go to the index page and read about the specific thing you're looking for instantly. Instead of dealing with the bulky search engine hear, and scrubbing through youtube videos.

I have The Unofficial Gamesalad Textbook and I found it to be very useful.
