I've grown tired, or my wallet has, of the subscription based app. I'm not looking for anything in particular, so list your favorite Subscription free apps or Pay Once apps!

Hard disagree. That’s my favorite kind of payment option, where you can try the app with a limited feature set and then have a one time payment to unlock more if you think that’s worth it.

Why would you want to pay up front with no option to try the app? How’s that better?

Just because it’s an "in app payment" doesn’t mean it‘s microtransactions, loot cheats, or any of that bullshit. It’s a one time payment.
