Default Paid customer feedback - would you implement it?

Guys,
I'm building a service looking like this:
Air Coach Experimental Motivapps

Basically, users of my apps get an option to contact a paid support. For example, in a love letter writing app, they can push a "Purchase Advice" button and get relationship advice, in my goal-setting workshop, users get an option to have their goals reviewed by a real human being, etc.

I'm considering opening up the framework to other developers. Imagine that you could have a form in your app, where users can ask questions to an expert related to the field of the app.



Same thing, different app:


Would you implement such a thing in your app? The whole backend would be already written, and you wouldn't even need to handle the replies by yourself - people from my company would do it.

What do you think?

Hm...

I don't think, the iphone community is ready for such a thing.
They are kids without money, or arrogant yuppies, who know everything better.
Or kids without money, who know everything better (that's why they can tell you, why your free app sucks and is not worth the money)

It depends on the app and the audience.
I have no app, that could use it.

Today you find advice (good or bad) on the net within seconds...

On the other hand I just heared on the radio about a women, who is a "Life Adviser" (not even a psychiatrist or so) and talks to you per email and charges thousands of euros for that and some stupid rich bastards even pay her...

So your plan could be even working

I can see it going either way to be honest. Honestly a teens/young adults social life is their only life and spending their parents or their money on making it better wouldnt be out of the question. I am not saying this is something you shouldnt be doing but kids do a lot of crazy things to make their social lives better like drinking/smoking etc.. I am interested to see how this turns out.
