TECH CRUNCH - Jan 30 - Apple is sending out a message to app developers: stop tricking users into subscriptions. A number of scammers had begun to take advantage of the subscription model in order to trick consumers into recurring payments, in addition to constantly pestering their free users to upgrade.
- The monthly subscription price has to be clearly displayed, while information about how much people can save if they opt for longer periods of time, like a year, has to be less prominent.
- Messages about free trials have to say how long trials last and what will be charged when the trial ends.
