I've grown tired, or my wallet has, of the subscription based app. I'm not looking for anything in particular, so list your favorite Subscription free apps or Pay Once apps!

    All good, I appreciate the tip :) I’m just not looking to replace it with anything.

    I looked through my apps, and there’s quite a few that I’m paying subscriptions for. Castro, Spotify, (Audible, Netflix, Disney if you want to count these), Google Photos, Carrot, Ivory, Timery, YNAB, and Unread. Recently got rid of prime to see how that feels like. I know that’s not in the spirit of this post, but I’m happy to pay some of these, knowing it’ll help keep them around and get new features.

    Many many apps I used to love and use have died, most likely because of the missing revenue stream and subscriptions definitely help to keep that from happening.
