When was the last time you guys downloaded an app from the App Store? It’s been months if not years for me. Got Reddit, Instagram, Shazam, and Google Maps. I could give a shit about anything else
*couldn’t
Like 2 days ago. I got Logic Pro.
Nice! Enjoy. I was just tracking in the studio with my copy yesterday. Love being able to have Logic in the booth without the fan of my laptop.
i love mobile puzzle games and have them in droves.
weekly, i tune in to scroll through the newly listed apps, and sometimes find one that interests me.
then i search inside its page for similar apps.
i definitely encounter the same recommended wheel of apps, but at times it leads to a single app that will interests me.
and that's kind of enough for me.
it's also a toilet time waster, so...
I got Lumafusion during their Black Friday sale, so I can play around with during a long as trip in a month and it's nice to support a developer that doesn't require you to pay monthly.
When an app requires subscriptions or in-app purchases, it’s a hard no from me to even consider to install it.
I don’t mind paying for an app once, even to a significant amount. But I don’t want to commit to a subscription, not for an app.
There are certain cases where a subscription makes sense (password managers, weather apps, and content apps like Netflix and Spotify come to mind specifically).
Just did a download history check. Between my iPad and my iPhone I download anywhere between 4 and 10 apps a month with the odd exception of a month a I may download 1. Actually hit 11 the other month.
To be fair though I use my iPad as a musician so I’m regularly downloading AUv3’s. New keys, samplers, mixing stuff, effects and so on.
