Recently bought the no-ads pack for an iPad game, still showing ads. It's for my kid. Said ads are very very long, minutes long, like TV ad breaks, and require interactions and clicking impossibly small buttons. They even open the App Store at some point so you buy faster.
Where are the apps that cost some money, a fixed sum, that is knowable from the start? And then you can use the apps instead of paying to win and milking kids for upgrades and installing other apps? Some of them try to trick users into subscribing for 10$/week for a single shitty game.
The AppStore is a wasteland. Shame on Apple for making such a complete 180 from the first years of AppStore. Walled garden my ass.

- samarthr1 2y agoTrue, but then, there is always fdroid for us android users for $foss_cause _respecting_ apps. They are almost always with a ui from two cycles (or even the 90s), but they are totally playable. I use forkyz to solve crosswords daily and play Mindy (A solitaire mastermind clone)
- floydnoel 2y agoi think the apps you are looking for get out-competed by the scummy ones. i have an app like that in the app store. no subscription, no data harvesting, just pay up front once and own it forever. it's nearly impossible to get users to buy it.
