The pricing is perfect, considering that this is a universal application for both iPhone and iPad. Although I will admit that the iPad option wasn't really thought out, that this application was really designed for the held-held iPhone or iPod Touch. Some clues: this application doesn't do landscape and images are still pretty tiny, with no option to expand to a larger version. The larger images isn't going to be deal breaker, in fact, I can understand why they'd want small images, because I'm assuming there are about 365 images (which could explain why the application is a large 90mb download). I do like that the images are randomly displayed.
As for the meat of the product, you get a trivia about Led Zeppelin based on the day, broken down by various years. For instance, this day in Zeppelin (January 31st), LZ played their first of two nights at the Fillmore East in New York in 1969 and in 1975 they played Detroit Michigan (with the set list information). The nice thing about this is that you can skip around, so if a particular day is important to you (like, say, your birthday), you can read what LZ were up to that day.
As I previously mentioned, some of this data is a little far-fetched, like do I really need to know the birthday of Deborah Bonham (sister of the late drummer John Bonham)?
Anyway, a delightful program, This Day In Led Zeppelin is recommended if you like Led Zeppelin. It is doing well in the iTunes UK and I'm holding out for a This Day in The Smiths.
