I’ve grown tired, or my wallet has, of the subscription based app. I’m not looking for anything in particular, so list your favorite Subscription free apps or Pay Once apps!
I‘m still using fantastical, as some of the new premium features stayed unlocked for previous customers, but not heavily. And I really do think subscriptions are fine, but in no way can I justify 70 bucks per year for that and I don’t want to.
Totally understandable, it’s a great app. Nice to know they gave a little extra to existing customers.
Some subscriptions are fine, I’m not against them completely, but the as you said the cost of this one is steep. For my use it’s not worth it but to some others it might be.
There is exactly one valid reason for a subscription to an app (not content), and it’s because your usage has to be reliant on a server with meaningful upkeep costs.
That does not include “your device could easily do this but we’re forcing it to the cloud”. Any other reason makes you a bad person.
