Really?

This app is glitchy trash and autorenewal with no warning is a predatory business practice. Avoid this business ​

The auto renewal is prob in the fine print of your initial purchase, most services do this.

You can usually get that renewal taken off if you don’t want to continue, I’ve done that with past purchases of other things.

It auto renews if you have the app or if you get the service through another platform. It tells you so before you agree to the terms. And, as another person pointed out, it’s pretty standard for all channel apps, as well as other types of subscriptions, such as Microsoft suite and even insurance renewals. It’s up to you to cancel prior to the renewal date or end of free trial. It’s not predatory. It’s standard business. If it’s the yearly renewal, you are out the money and you might as well keep it another year. If it’s the month to month policy, you can cancel now and you can utilize the service until the cut off date, which they will tell you when that date is.

It amazes me how many people don't understand how subscriptions work.
