No, its not typically a concern with non-subscription services. And, yes, it is a concern with subscription services purchased through the Apple App Store (don't use Google). I still have to google how to do it. For reference: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039 I'd be impressed if anyone could figure those steps out without visiting that guide first.

Really? You view your Apple ID and click subscriptions - it's really pretty simple. Added bonus, every subscription is in one place - no worry about deleting the app and losing your ability to cancel. No phone calls needed to cancel - ever - either. Plus, you get an email confirming every subscription and renewal before the renewal is charged, with a link directly to that subscription so you can cancel it. Not sure how it could be made much easier than that...

  It's been a while since I had to unsubscribe from something (because I avoid it), but I only wrote that comment after searching for my subscriptions because I remember it being difficult. First place I looked was the App Store. Second place I looked was the iTunes store. After some hunting I even got as far as opening Settings and completely missing the fact that I could select my Apple ID. I actually don't think its purposely hidden. Saying I'd be impressed if anyone found it without googling it was probably a slight exaggeration, but it certainly isn't intuitive to me. As far as emails go, I didn't know that, and you must be seeing something I'm not. I get a receipt with a bunch of links to Apple support. Tried every link and none of them take me directly to the subscription. The point is less to do with Apples implementation of subscription service and more to do with my lack of trust behind them in general. Apple might do better than most, but I've been burned one time too many.
