I suspect that the subscription model will turn out to be something that kills the golden goose. Those subscriptions add up quickly and a large part of the success of the app store is that it's not a big deal to spend $2 to $5 on an app. I suspect that people will be less willing to keep paying year after year unless there is a good reason to. I do have a few apps that run on a subscription, but they are for apps that provide new data consistently - weather, a few sports apps, news apps.
Agreed. Subscription is too iffy. What happens to the app if the developer shutters the service because there were too few subscribers?

I'd rather pay more one-time, upfront for a fully functional app than an ongoing monthly or annual charge.
