    App subscriptions aren’t labeled when they hit your bank account, and if you’re not aware that you can find all your subs in a single location (App Store>Your user icon>subscriptions), you might post a silly meme about it.

    With that said, thanks to OP, I found out I have $10 a month still going to PTCG Pocket even though I stopped playing that earlier this year.

        Sure. I subscribe to Watch Duty so I get better data layers for west coast USA wildfires. I also subscribe to spotify because I haven’t been able to wean myself off it yet. There are a few select apps that make sense to subscribe to for “premium” benefits. Most aren’t, for sure.

        I pay $4 a year to the dude who developed parcel - it lets me track packages through mutiple couriers. Been running it since covid, just starting to get to the amount I woulda paid a one-off price for it.

        I outright bought Serif’s Affinity suite of programs. Then Canva bought Serif, delisted the original Affinity apps, and made the new programs subscription-only. If ever my iPad dies, goodbye paid-for programs. Sometimes you don’t have a choice.

          Screenshot of Apple App Store showing apps from 2008

          Most of the apps you’ve bought you can still download even if they’ve been delisted, note the AOL apps here. The only reason you can’t re-download them like the one in the middle here is if it no longer works on the modern OSs.

          Just go to AppStore>User Icon>App & Purchase History.
