It's at that point in the process when I close out of the app and delete it.

I get it, people gotta make a living. But that is seriously scummy design 😒

- I understand people charging for their apps.
  
  This feels like something else. Like, it feels like a way to rip off people that don’t pay attention to what they’re signing up for.

  Right, $10 sure go for it, $15 maybe if its something spectacular. But $20? $50? lmao

I can recommend Ivory, it's from the same developers that made Tweetbot.

Subscription price is $1.99 per month or $17.99 per year, which I think is somewhat justified. Yes, one-time payments are usually my preference, but as a developer I understand that keeping an app for a social network up-to-date is a huge task that never really stops.

Fucking gross behaviour that. I hope the app crashes and burns for that predatory shite.

From reading the comments here why are there so many ios mastodon apps with subscriptions

Mastodon is FOSS ffs

- Mastodon is, iOS on the other hand… >!free in terms of price, but it is on an Apple device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯!<
  
  Also that may be a prejudice with regard to "if you have enough to buy Apple, you have enough to pay for everything"
