Lol, making us go to the actual website, not the app. Making us hunt down somewhere in “settings,” and not billing, to find the cancel button. Then clicking through 4 pages to complete the process…
Solid defense on that line of thought
Some of these issues can be Apple and Google’s fault since they control subscriptions if you buy through the app, but the company that makes the app controls your subscription if you subscribed outside of it. So it might be against the App Store terms of service to allow you to unsubscribe from inside the app. There’s a hidden setting on iOS to control all subscriptions which can be better or worse depending on your perspective.
I've started and canceled a few subs in google.play. It's pretty easy compared to dealing with any of the companies directly, by a ton
That’s true, I forgot about that.
