Be mindful of opaque in-app subscriptions

You might have a few active subscriptions, perhaps to services for video or music streaming. The subscription model has also migrated to apps, some of which present them in very confusing ways that involve you getting a free trial that segues into a expensive annual subscription that can be surprisingly difficult to cancel. Read carefully if ever offered any options containing the words “free,” “trial,” “plan” or “subscription.”
