I've grown tired, or my wallet has, of the subscription based app. I'm not looking for anything in particular, so list your favorite Subscription free apps or Pay Once apps!

There is exactly one valid reason for a subscription to an app (not content), and it's because your usage has to be reliant on a server with meaningful upkeep costs.

That does not include "your device could easily do this but we're forcing it to the cloud". Any other reason makes you a bad person.
