It is disheartening (although not that surprising) to see how many companies are "double dipping" here. For example Pray.com seems particularly bad. It has a $7.99 a month subscription, but still track and sell your information just like a "free" app would.

Ordinarily I feel much better about an app which has a clearly defined, above-board, method of funding itself. (The old "if you aren't paying for the product, you are the product" thing). But this is a good reminder that it is "if" not "if and only if".
