Which IMHO has made the AppStore a cesspool of awfulness.

Buying a one time app for a few quid used to be a normal and a good deal all round (I say this as a customer and iOS developer)

But now EVERYTHING is a monthly subscription. Even for apps that really shouldn’t need any updates - but like you say, they do need constant updates just to remain functions.

It’s created a broken AppStore and I just never pay for anything anymore.

Ripe for disruption ...
I’m in the UK and it’s looking from the rumours 3rd part AppStore’s are gonna be EU only so we’ll be missing out.

Another fabulous consequence of brexit.
