How Many Apps Do You Subscribe?

[eyecrispy]

Apple Music, Netflix, Amazon Prime. That’s it. It’s ridiculous that others want $$. I quit using Todoist bc I had to pay monthly just to get notifications. seriously? A notification would be pretty standard for a to do app. I don’t have a problem paying a one time charge for those types of apps, but monthly is just stupid, IMO.

I pay for Carrot and At Bat. I absolutely love the At Bat app. I use the Carrot weather complication on my watch and I’m pretty much on At Bat every day during baseball season

I happily pay for At Bat during the season and then happily cancel my subscription and switch to Bleacher Report during the off-season. I’m cheap like that.

You don't pay to use the Amazon app though. You would still pay for Prime without the app, and could access it in a browser.

True.
I thought the OP was talking about actual apps. Like some have mentioned Carrot.

Haha!! That’s a great idea.

I rather pay a one time fee. I'm not with the monthly subscriptions

I am the OP. And you were correct. Apps that require subscription. Not services like Amazon Prime or Verizon.

Amazon Prime Video, I also watch a lot of YouTube. But for now decided against paying for YouTube Red.
I also recently cancelled YouTube tv. Apple cancelled it awhile back when they shouldn’t have.
When I subscribed again, my $34 monthly fee was a thing of the past.
My main issue with cancelling YouTube tv was not so much the fee.
But the networks blacking out certain programs, or sporting events.
I don’t want to pay for a streaming tv service if I cannot watch what is on the cable channels.
My HDTV antenna fulfills those needs just fine.

Only Apple Music

Netflix, Music, Carrot and thats all. I pay for apps rather than subscribe to them.

Besides the basics (TV streaming services), I pay for Apple Music & Keepsafe (probably going to cancel). I thought about Carrot because I’m a weather nerd lol but when I looked it up, there’s really no reason to pay for the service unless you just like paying for cute graphics. I use Dark Sky (I think Carrot uses them too) & Storm Radar for up to the minute notifications for free. Windy is a good one during hurricane season as well. Plus Carrot increased the cost of the app to $4.99...not doing that!!!

I bought Carrot and like it fine, but now really sore I’d get the subscription. Even though it’s super cheap.

It’s a nice looking app & the subscription is cheap but free is better for the same info

 

[Mr Mediocre Guy]

Only Carrot. I prefer to do a one time payment and get turned off by subscription-based apps.

Apple Music
iCloud
Todoist

As I am a new parent, so I have subscribed some apps relared to kids. In my list, it is Social Graces, PlayKids & an app for parenting guide. These 3 apps has made my life easy & managable. [URL="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/social-graces/id1209755285?mt=8&at=10l3Vy]Social Graces[/URL] is a parenting app, Playkids is a platform of education for kids.

Do you have an idea of what app could be useful for me at this stage?

 

[BlackBerry Guy]

VyperVPN, Dashlane, Apple Music, Netflix, DAZN

I recently decided on SPOTIFY. That is the only one.

I don’t at the moment subscribe to any service requiring a monthly subscription, although I am tempted to get a Youtube premium account, not because I want the music or tv service but because I don’t want the advertisements. So I’d like to ask anybody who has the service if YouTube is honourable about this, or do they slip a few ads in anyway ?

I’ve done the free trials in the past. Never really got any ads that they tried to slip by me. Just didn’t feel the cost justified the subscription though. Most of the ads I’m able to skip after 5 seconds and the others I just don’t pay attention to. All dependent on how much you use YouTube, I guess.
