I wouldn't even mind it if they were more affordable, but asking me to pay €60 for a weather app or €120 or whatever for Ynab is ridiculous. I usually only start yearly subscriptions around the start of the year, for budget reasons, but that would easily add up.

I wouldn't mind paying for some apps if they offered monthly subscriptions at the same price as a yearly subscription. I get that the whole point of yearly subscriptions is to lock people in, but they usually only offer a weekly trial, which isn't enough to see if I'll use the app enough to be worth its money.

What does the subscription weather app even do? Give you a free umbrella every time you forget yours? I don't think there is any app worth money on mobile except for some games and professional apps.

It funds the exorbitantly expensive costs of constantly tracking and updating weather

YNAB pays for itself for sure. Absolutely love it.
