TouchRetouch has switched to a subscription model. The older app cannot be downloaded by new users. The new app allows you to restore your old purchase and sets you to a core plan, where all the old features from that app still work. But, new features will require a sub.

The devs are also giving a 3 months promo from play store reviews and 50% off to old users for the yearly sub.

It could’ve been worse, like not honoring your previous purchase. But, this is ok.

I wish companies would stop with subscription models.

Open source is the only solution

I think the trend is to go all out subscriptions. I doubt the situation will improve any time soon.

At least I still have access to the non-subscription version which I can share through Family Sharing, something you can’t do with IAP/subscriptions…
