> Also: subscription fatigue is real. This. I just went and cancelled a bunch of vampire subscriptions that had accrued in my life (both in and out of the Apple ecosystem) and ended up saving somewhere in the range of $60 a month. I get that people have bills to pay and building and maintaining software costs money, but when everyone wants money from me for every little thing, eventually I have to decide who gets what cut from an increasingly limited sized pie. Apps like this that, while beautiful, replicate functionality that is "good enough" that I can get for free are the first thing to be cut. |

The few zombie subscriptions I've had have all existed outside of the App store, one that I didn't even sign up for (looking at you Masterclass). I bought a one year gift subscription for someone else, and because it came with a "free" subscription for me (that I didn't use), I git hit with annual renewals until I noticed it on my credit card statement and cancelled.
Yes, I should check those more frequently, but who has time for that?
It rankles that you can can cancel a free trial before it's over with every app exept Apple's. I like the feature, but the double standard grates.
