It's $5. Even if it sucks and I only ever used it once, it's $5. I spend way more than that on a book I know I'll only read once.

Our sense of value is kinda skewed these days when it comes to app costs. Probably because so many folks believe that ad supported free apps should be the norm.

The App Store doesn't provide a native way to do trials. They have some convoluted process with a $0 in-app purchase.

I'm a macOS and iOS developer myself and constantly struggling with adding trials for App Store apps in a way that's not confusing for users.
