I don’t begrudge devs whose subscriptions require people to pay for a service, and then don’t let them use it after they stop paying. Can you still use Netflix’s recommendation engine customized based on your ratings if you stop paying?

Also, it depends on the app. For example, Day One is free for a single journal with 1 image attachment/day, and export. Premium subscription gets you sync across different devices and unlimited journals and images, and more. But, unless I’m mistaken, you can still use the product pretty well for free, still access all additional journals, and still export any journals created.
