I am with you on that. I buy apps if they provide value to me. If it has a one-time purchase option next to a subscription, even if it is $30 - $50, I pick the one-time purchase. If it's a journaling app, a calendar app, a habit tracker or a drawing app and it wants me to pay monthly, it's a hard 'no' for me as well unless it has a cloud component that I feel justifies the price. There is mostly nothing in it that justifies paying monthly, it's just an offline app. "But developers need a salary too" - yes, then price your app accordingly and charge for upgrades. Subscriptions make me feel if I stop paying I lose the app and can't access my data any longer. That, and subscriptions pile up. If I subscribe to one app it's not a big deal, but if I subscribe to 10-20 apps and they all cost monthly, it adds financial stress on me and stuff I 'have to keep in my head'.
