What apps do you subscribe to for your phone?

I don’t mean the one time cost for a download but what apps do you find are worth the recurring $10 a month or $100 a year, or whatever?

For me, NYT full access subscription, Wall Street Journal and Chess.com. (Hey, I didn’t say I was cool or interesting…)

Just Slate and Astronomy Cast. I contribute to electoral-vote.com but that's not necessary for access. Same for Astronomy Cast, I could listen for free with commercials but I want to support them.

I guess I could watch Netflix on my phone but have never done that. I make purchases through Amazon Prime but don't watch anything on my phone either.

@LeopoldBloom Slate is pretty cool.

None at all.

My 'phone is not linked to the Internet but even if it was, the less clutter and fewer gimmicks on it, the better.

I have sometimes seen friends' smart-phones' home-screens, and watched the owners flick through page after page of symbols for one programme or link after another... dozens of them.


By comparison, my computer has apart from Microsoft WIN-11 and some of its normal accessories, plus Firefox, BT e-mail and Norton protection:

MS Office for Windows XP (so 'Word', 'Excel', 'PowerPoint', possibly 'Access' too),

The HP Printer driver,

Only 2 general social-media accounts - but NOT Facebook or Twitter - plus a couple specific to my interests.

and some third-party programmes:

two of CAD, one measurements-units converter / calculator and one special geological survey tool.


None of these, except the Norton, are on subscription.

The PC came already loaded with WIN_10 which MS later un-obligingly changed to W11.

I bought 'Office for XP' and the two CAD programmes as single, up-front purchases.

The converter and survey tools were free from elsewhere.


There are no games, no wi-fi, no Bluetooth (is that a dental complaint indigenous to Artic regions?), no camera, no microphone, no entertainments accounts (films, music, TV).
I have music

Not just for me, but for my daughter. I know can do a free version. But, I prefer to pay for unlimited and uninterrupted music

Only app I pay for is Discord (Nitro). I use it everyday so worth it.

Youtube commercial free. I love streaming my music without interruptions.
All Trails. $36 dollars a year. I get a ton of use out of it.
I have Hulu, Prime and Paramount Plus which are about $27 total, replacing the $165 I was once paying for cable.
