Why do i need a subscription for a camera app?
- charcircuit 3mo agoIf a user gets value from an app month after month it makes sense for the user to pay for the value month after month.
- cush 3mo agoBy that logic they should charge per photo
- charcircuit 3mo agoThat's what film cameras did once upon a time and the business model worked then.
- account42 3mo agoNo they didn't. In general the camera manufacturer is not the one you paid for film stock.
- alistairSH 3mo agoBy that logic, I should be paying Audi and Mazda a subscription for finding utility in the cars that sit in my driveway. And Nike for the shoes on my feet.
- whynotmaybe 3mo agoYou can rent a car without buying it
- andai 3mo agoFrom what I heard they're selling them at a loss and making it back by selling your data.
- backscratches 3mo agoShoes and shirts and hats and bars of soap all should have a monthly subscription as well.
- charcircuit 3mo agoThere are fashion subscriptions. Some people do not value being able to continually rewear clothes and would prefer to constantly having new clothes to show off.
- copper-float 3mo agoThat's absurd. I've gotten value from my toilet plunger for years. Let me start charging you a toilet plunger subscription just for privilege of using it when you please. That's your logic.
- charcircuit 3mo agoMy logic is that toilet plunger manufacturers will race to the bottom resulting in a subscriptionless plunger being the cheapest one.
- rjh29 3mo agoThe real answer: making money on the App Store is extremely difficult. Developers have worked out subscriptions make more money than one-off purchases over time, even if a large % of people will refuse to engage with them.
