I keep a personal txt file named "cemetery_of_paid_apps.txt" it's where I hold all the apps that I paid and latter became subscription based as a reminder of how stupid I was of paying for apps. So far the list: 1. Fantastical 2. Unread 3. Notability 4. 1password 5. Infuse 6. 1blocker 7. PocketCast 8. Ulysses I'm well aware that some grandfathered their previous paid licenses after a lot of noise (Notability). But I don't care, this subscription hysteria is actually having the unintended effect of saving me a lot of money on apps that are one time purchase. All I can think is that it's a matter of time before they all become a subscription service, so I don't even bother anymore buying new apps.

PocketCasts actually granted previous purchasers a free Pro subscription in perpetuity because of community backlash. That one really annoys me because I would happily pay $5 for Pro PocketCasts functionality for a year or two, but I'm not going to pay a recurring fee every month since I don't care about any cloud storage or sync functionality. On that note... if you don't want to use your free Pro PocketCasts subscription going forward, I would be more than happy to pay you $5 for it.

  Where exactly is my pro pocket cast subscription? I bought the iOS app and, before that, the android app. And they still ask me to pay for the pro.

    If you bought it before, you should see your premium lifetime subscription on login: https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/19/20873611/pocket-casts-plus-premium-web-desktop-apps-changes-rollback https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/19/20873611/pocket-casts-plu... And again... if it works, but you don't want it, let me know :)

      It seems like it’s only for those who purchased the windows(web?) app. If you purchased the iOS and/or android apps (like me) you’re out of luck. Doesn’t matter, I barely use pocket cast nowadays.
