This is why I recommend FOSS apps for base functionality like that. There's plenty folks out there, who've implemented a grocery list app as a hobby project, who don't need to try to make money off it. As such, their app can exist without ads, tracking or needy notifications.
I recommend FOSS for absolutely everything you use if possible.
I agree, when my wife switched to iPhone a few years back, I had trouble finding foss apps for ios. I guess not being able to sideload means most devs will want to recoup the apple development fee. I don't blame them really.
I used an iPhone for a few months last year and I had such a hard time with just how much it costs for apps. Everything is a subscription and you have no options for sideloading your own app or FOSS. I tried to set my alarm to a piece of music that was released under a creative commons license and the only way to do it was to spend $1 with Apple.
On iPad you did not even have a calculator app until recently. You had to buy one or get one with ads. I'm taking super basic functionality here right. No scientific calculator or anything.
When it comes to more complex apps, sometimes you really do get a better user experience if you just sack up and pay for a premium product.
MyFitnessPal is balls compared to Macrofactor. Its more expensive but its better and doesnt do a damn thing I dont expressly tell it to do.
