Setapp Mac App Subscription Service Expands to iOS

[rickeames]

Paid articles are one thing, but it is deeply dishonest of MacRumors to describe this as Setapp "expanding" to iOS. Setapp users already had, as part of their existing subscription, access to iOS apps such as Ulysses, Paste, and Mindnode. You could also use multiple iOS devices, handy for those of us with both an iPhone and an iPad.

With the same excited marketing spin we witnessed when Setapp REDUCED the number of included Macs from two to one, now they are pretending that having to pay an additional $5 per month PER DEVICE to add an iOS to your subscription is a good thing.

Just to be clear, the "big news" here is that, yet again, Setapp is reducing the value it offers. They are REMOVING access that their users already had. They are demanding an additional $60 or, if you have two iOS devices, an additional $120 per year.
...

This 1000%. I am now going to be dropping Setapp because I used to get Ulysses on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad baked into the pricing. Now I need to give them $60 more a year to do the same thing. Ulysses subscription is $50 by itself, so how is this value to me? Ridiculous.

10 bucks a month for an app that I'll probably run at most 2x a year.

No thanks.

I see subscription I'm out. Between Verizon, Spotify, HBO and Neflix I've reached my max.
