I would say that it's always "fair" to ask the question; if people feel
that it's sufficiently off-topic, they'll either not answer it or ask
you to post elsewhere. In some cases, though, fair or not, the question
may be better answered by the user group for the app in question.
I would, however, recommend checking for an app's user group archives
before posting a question about that app here. I've seen a number of
questions here that have been covered repeatedly on the apps' discussion
lists.
