Apple seemingly cracking down on 'scammy' subscription apps
Easy. FaceApp... for example:rogifan_new said:I don’t get how someone can be duped into paying a monthly subscription fee.
- daughter wants to test new hairstyles
- download free app for her
- open app for the first time
- “do you want to start a free trial”
- sure
- 24 hours later an email arrives to say I would roll into a $30 yearly subscription at the end of my 3 day trial (I did not notice this email)
- later that week, daughter asked to play with the face thingy again and I was surprised that the app still had full functionality. No notification regarding the end of the trial, no request to confirm suscription... then I found the email!
Sure. I was caught napping, not paying enough attention. I am normally switched on to these sorts of things, but not this time. I’m sure many others have fallen victim the same way. This “opt-out” subscription model needs to be heavily restricted or stopped all together.
