    When was the last time you guys downloaded an app from the App Store? It’s been months if not years for me. Got Reddit, Instagram, Shazam, and Google Maps. I could give a shit about anything else

        Nice! Enjoy. I was just tracking in the studio with my copy yesterday. Love being able to have Logic in the booth without the fan of my laptop.

      i love mobile puzzle games and have them in droves.

      weekly, i tune in to scroll through the newly listed apps, and sometimes find one that interests me.

      then i search inside its page for similar apps.

      i definitely encounter the same recommended wheel of apps, but at times it leads to a single app that will interests me.

      and that’s kind of enough for me.

      it’s also a toilet time waster, so…

      I got Lumafusion during their Black Friday sale, so I can play around with during a long as trip in a month and it’s nice to support a developer that doesn’t require you to pay monthly.

      When an app requires subscriptions or in-app purchases, it’s a hard no from me to even consider to install it.

      I don’t mind paying for an app once, even to a significant amount. But I don’t want to commit to a subscription, not for an app.

        There are certain cases where a subscription makes sense (password managers, weather apps, and content apps like Netflix and Spotify come to mind specifically).

      Just did a download history check. Between my iPad and my iPhone I download anywhere between 4 and 10 apps a month with the odd exception of a month a I may download 1. Actually hit 11 the other month.

      To be fair though I use my iPad as a musician so I’m regularly downloading AUv3’s. New keys, samplers, mixing stuff, effects and so on.
