I’m one of those that despise subscriptions in apps, even though Apple tries to push them whenever they can. What I was not expecting is that from their winners’ list, I guess only (ironically) the app Too Good To Go, doesn’t feature that garbage business model.
Feel free to give your bets for next year. I’ll bet on AI subscription based apps 😎
This was true a decade ago but now most apps interface with some external server, even if it’s not hosted by the developer. The rest of the world keeps changing even if you don’t; API versions increase with breaking changes or a service your app relies on gets shutdown, and now your app is broken. Not upgrading is a boring solution anyway. Keeping up-to-date with new features is what makes computers fun.
