I agree. It's not about quantity. It should be about quality. Nowadays when I search for a type of app there's so many to choose from but many of them aren't good.

I dislike in-app purchasing. It's rather deceiving to get an app but later finding out that it won't do what I want it to until I purchase in-app features. The only time I'm okay with this is when they tell us first in the description what features are needed to be purchased in-app. I then can decided whether the whole price including in-app purchasing is worth getting. I usually avoid apps that require in-app purchase because I dislike being nickel-and-dimed for every feature.
