What is the most useless app that you have seen being given as a subscription?
For me, I tried a ‘minimalist’ launcher app for Android that had a 7 day trial or something and they had a yearly subscription based model for it. I was aghast. I would literally expect the app to blow my mind and do everything one can assume to go that way. In a world, where Nova Launcher (Yes, I know it has been acquired by Branch folks but it still is a sturdy one) or Niagara exist plus many alternatives including minimalist ones on F Droid, the dev must be releasing revolutionary stuff to factor in a subscription service.
Second, is a controversial choice, since it’s free tier is quite good and people like it so much. But, Pocketcasts. I checked it’s yearly price the other day, and boy, in my country, I can subscribe to Google Play Pass, YouTube Premium and Spotify and still have money left before I hit the ceiling what Pocketcasts is asking for paid upgrade.
Also, what are your views on one time purchase vs subscriptions? Personally, I find it much easier to purchase, if it’s good enough even if it was piratable, something if it is a one time purchase rather than repetitive.
Well, there are too many to name, but one that called my attention recently was Battery Guru… I thought you could buy the app, but it seems that it has only a subscription model? Yeah I’d rather buy it once than having to pay each day, month or year.
Lol, I was actually browsing Mobilism yesterday and came across a modded version of this app, I think. I didn’t install it though. I wonder if I should that a try.
I’d say you are going to be fine with the free app, at least I don’t see ads as I have AdAway always on lol.
Would you rather drain your battery or your bank account
I chose none 😆
There is BetterBatteryStats and Franco Kernel Manager, AccuBattery and GSam Battery Monitor to track the battery, most tools should exist too.
Anyway, the free version of Battery Guru doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
