Shopify's subscription apps with their newly released subscription API is also woeful, not surprised of this outcome.

The subscription apps on the App Store are suited for physical goods (coffee beans, etc) rather than digital (membership, gift subscription, saas, etc.) which is what is driving the subscription economy.
