Until it stops clearly rewarding scammers, I cannot support subscriptions in any way. From the very start, these criminals figured out some great ways to trick people into auto-renewing subscriptions at exorbitant rates for garbage apps [1]. I especially love how they reached the “Top Grossing” lists (I sure never have...must be nice to not have any morals).

Also, I just plain want to make things that lots of people can enjoy. Subscriptions certainly limit your audience so why is that better (and why should that be the only option or even the preferred one?).
I know developers who asked for this in 2007 but can we please have “free trial, pay at end of trial” and “paid major upgrades” as standard, store-supported options, at long last? There was never anything wrong with these models and they are also great ways to make a living.
