Add a purchase option

I am one of many people who hate subscriptions. Give me an option to buy your app and I will buy it if I find it useful. I refuse to pay a never ending subscription.

For example, I switched from Evernote to Upnote because Upnote had a buy it option.

      Exactly. I typically only buy an app so a one time payment is what I look for. If the developer adds a statement that the lifetime payment may require a discounted future payment if app growth requires a major infrastructure upgrades in the future, I'm ok with that type of caveat.

      I have bought apps that also include an option to “tip the developer” or “buy the developer a coffee" where I have bought the app and if I continue to use it, I send a contribution to help the dev stay motivated to keep updating it.
