And when it's good, it's good.

I just clicked buy on Halide. I'd downloaded and played with it back when I got my iPhoneXR, and I only upgraded from that recently purely because I wanted some of the camera advances.

$80 to buy specialised software for my $1800 camera (that also happens to be a phone) feels totally like the right thing to do.

Yeah I just tried it out and holy shit it's light years better than the default camera app when it come to letting you adjust manual focus and what not. I signed up for the trial. The yearly fee is only $11.99. How did you spend $80?

Australian dollars/app-store pricing, and bought outright instead of subscribed.

Happy with what I paid there.

According to the Halide II App Store landing page[1], a one time purchase is $50. Whether or not it's easily accessible in the app is another story.

> In-App Purchases

1. Yearly $11.99

2. Monthly $2.99

3. One Time Purchase $49.99

I just downloaded it today. First thing you do when you open it is choose which of those three you want to pay (or start the free trial with a cancellable auto-subscribe for the yearly), do the 2-second Apple Pay prompt, then it sends you right to the camera.

That is to say, the one-time was immediately easily accessible.
