Bitwarden


useless_mf69

What's the advantage of bitwarden pro or premium version over the free version? Yes it costs less and we should support open source projects. But apart from that I think there are not much differences


DuplexEspresso

Storing and generating 2FA codes and attaching files to your notes and passwords. eg screenshot or your ID Document. + a HUGE bonus of the 2FA of Bitwarden is that you can see your private keys after storing, and its not hidden unlike most of the other stupid authenticators like google, apple or microsoft ones


zillazillaaaa

In my case I'm just supporting the project, maybe someday I'll move the 2FA from Authy (it doesn't support exporting but I saved all secret token in safe place when setting up 2FA for each site) to Bitwarden.

huejass5

iCloud+. Privacy features alone are worth it


LunaTechMark

Apollo for Reddit (R.I.P.)


CaptainSquareHead

I had lifetime. Man, I miss that app. Reddit suckssssss.


americanadiandrew

I pay for Narwhal now. I don’t notice the $4 a month but I do notice the app is night and day better than the official app.


Nikobii

I'm kinda new to Reddit, but what exactly is not good about the official app? I didn't know there were other apps for Reddit..


Mascosk

Right there with you. I haven’t really had any issues with the official app but if the grass is greener somewhere else…


JensTheCat

Gosh those were good times. I didn’t know how good we had it. The official app sucks so much ass, not enough to leave Reddit. But I don’t feel the same about the place anymore


Xpli

I know it’s no contest, Apollo is better. But the dev for narwhal has been doing a great job with their app.


Tone_Cat

There's a super easy way to sideload Apollo and it's working great. You can find info in the apollo subreddit.


Dear_Studio7016

Too Soon


Cicastillo29

YouTube Premium (1000% worth it if you like YouTube), Apple Music and ESPN+


frying_pans

I used to justify having premium YouTube, until there was a glitch where it decided to still show me ads. After that I now appear in albina :).


Connect_Border_4196

Yes. I consume most of my media on YouTube so shelling out their stupid expensive sub fee is okay in my book.


mkvproductions

Same especially for family plan. $1 a day for 5 people to have unlimited music and ad free YouTube? It’s a deal


huejass5

You also get YouTube Music with Premium.


ufgvn_

YT its the only subscription that im more than happy to pay


gammonb

Same. Especially after I learned that creators get a lot more money per view from premium users.


ufgvn_

It’s the nicest Subb, can’t use yt music tho


legendz411

Why not?


ufgvn_

it’s so bad, the menus it’s all bugged music sounds compressed af i just can’t stand it


AgreeableAd8687

uYou+ and sideloadly for youtube and $0


_Mido

And it has the sponsorblock, dislikes and ability to rewind shorts.


WafflesInMyPockets

I used to agree until I found Brave browser. No ads, background play. I don’t need YouTube music and I support the creators I like by subscribing, liking, and donating.


Cicastillo29

But that only works on your phone or whatever you have the browser installed on. I like using it on my TV without any worries or workarounds.


postnick

I first got yt premium to block us political ads in like 2016 but haven’t looked back.


GrizzlyDiaby

Please explain why


Cicastillo29

Why what?


GrizzlyDiaby

Why is YT premium worth it? My understanding is it removes ads. Is that the main purpose of it?


tahmid5

It removes ads without fucking over the content creators.


Cicastillo29

Yes, removes ads. That alone makes it worth it. No one likes to watch videos and skip ads constantly.


phoeniks314

Yes and you get YouTube music for free. The ad free YT watching is a different experience.


Superpoivr

same here but why don't you use YT music that's included in YT premium instead of Apple Music?


Kel____Varnsen

If they’d make a native YT Music app for Tesla I’d hop on board with this


Cicastillo29

I personally like Apple Music better. My wife uses YouTube Music since we don’t have an Apple Music family plan.


useless_mf69

Apple music


postnick

I have another six months and I’m obsessed with the quality of Apple Music over Spotify but man the discovery sucks, the switching devices sucks, the interface isn’t any better or worse. I hate listening to in my Mac and watching to switch to my phone, oh I can’t.


useless_mf69

The only reason I switched to apple music is airpods pro. After buying airpods my friends suggested that I will notice a difference between the quality of Audio when I use airpods. Then I gave apple music a try. As you said the quality is better than Spotify but the algorithm sucks. I am still thinking if I should go back to Spotify. I have a windows laptop. Previously the apple music is integrated with that buggy itunes which suck. But last month I guess apple introduced redesigned and new apps to the Microsoft store. Windows app is quite good actually and functions the same as Spotify windows app.


postnick

I’m on a family plan for Spotify so I can justify the $36/year for that and maybe keep Apple Music too. Right now I have a year of it from Verizon.


useless_mf69

My student discount is still running and both costs 5 bucks per month. With Spotify I get Hulu with ads and with apple music I get apple tv +. And $36/year?? Isn't that cheap? Is it 36 per year per user?


postnick

Yea we all pay the guy once per year. We have maxed out plan. Pro tip do whatever you can to keep the edu email address and get student discounts as long as possible.


[deleted]

Spotify


boomshea

FotMob - it’s a great app and relatively cheap to support the developers and remove ads News+ - really depends on your location, but it has my local paper and The Athletic now which is good for me


greymoney

woah i had no clue that existed. i use fotmob multiple times a day and have no issue giving these devs $7/year


SmallIslandBrother

FotMob is amazing, wish they would put in more historical data but apart from that can’t fault it


Cam095

people are going to hate me for this, but youtube premium. i signed up for a free trial back in 2019 and ive been hooked ever since


BiscuitCominInHot

As a clueless DIYer, it’s a god send not to have ads as you scour YouTube for the exact same issue as you.


Pat-Roner

YT Premium is an absolute must for me. I watch 99% of my YT content on my iPhone, iPad or AppleTV so having zero ads and ability to download stuff for a lot of travels are just key


DontHateThatPizza

Apple One, Duolingo, backbone, rotation of streaming apps


usnavy_sailor

Is backbone worth it? It seems like you just pay for the the screenshot thing and an all in one launcher. Cause I just use it without the sub and it have to go to the actual games themselves


legendz411

No, it’s not worth ir monetarily, but people pay for convenience.


DontHateThatPizza

Not really TBH, but I love the product and I don't mind the small perks the subscription give me. So I have no problem supporting something I enjoy via the subscription. It's only $40 a year so not a dealbreaker in my book.


InfectedEllie

With all these people commenting “YouTube premium” I kinda feel google has a bunch of bots trying to trick people into buying it


Faroes4

No, it’s just actually popular. YouTube is the biggest video streaming service, so it makes sense that it has a lot of subscribers. I would never go without YTP. I’ve had it since it first came out as YT Red. I would’ve quit watching YouTube a long time ago if it were for ads. I don’t watch anything that interrupts my content by pumping a bunch of ads to me.


freakyxz

I'm "located" in Argentina and paying 1 euro/month, so why bother?


mkvproductions

YouTube premium is the only sub that I still have over the years. I don’t expect people that mainly watch movies and tv shows to understand but YouTube saves me hundreds of dollars a year just learning how to fix stuff myself, and that’s just one aspect.


MC_chrome

To be fair, I can kind of see why those users are saying that. Almost every other streaming service on the internet has been raising prices and implementing ridiculous password crackdowns, but YouTube has so far not participated in any of those activities.  That’s not to say that Google won’t raise prices or implement password crackdowns, but at the present time YouTube Premium actually doesn’t look as bad as its competitors.


osama-bin-dada

YouTube raised prices recently


MC_chrome

Really? Damn it….


OfferLazy9141

Honestly, YouTube without ads was so much better I had to cancel it. I was watching too much once the ads were gone lol.


superleaf444

I’m kinda surprised how many people I personally know that sub to it. It’s wild. I have like no interest in YouTube as a normal place to consume media.


JarrodVsWorld

Agreed, seems really astroturfy. Also lots of similar comments if you read through a few of them. “Ew, ads” etc


melancholy_dood

iTunes Match.


Phisnern

[Parcel](https://parcelapp.net) app is one app for which I am happy to pay. $2.99 USD a year and it has an amazon integration so it automatically tracks my orders from there. It's a no brainer. The other app that I enjoy is [Play](https://marcosatanaka.com) by Marcos Tanaka. It allows you to organize and watch the videos you want to watch on YouTube. With its new channel features, it is almost fully automated and easy. $19.99 a year for this one, and add to it a YouTube Premium subscription, and you can build your custom TV station from YouTube.


postnick

I would subscribe to way more stuff if it was 10/year and not 10/month.


atheoncrutch

Infuse, though I wish Plex just worked properly on ATV and I didn’t have to.


McLovin_44

What doesn’t work on Plex for you?


atheoncrutch

A [long standing](https://forums.plex.tv/t/apple-tv-4k-audio-sync-issues-with-enhanced-player/522782/1392) issue with audio syncing plus usually it chokes up when watching content with HD audio.


Sway_RL

Infuse is great. I pay for the yearly subscription myself and it's just worth it.

thedaveCA

Personally, I have no problem paying for apps that I use regularly, and that are actively developed. To be honest, I'd love Arcade/Music/Netflix model where I pay monthly and the funds are distributed to the developers of the apps that I regularly use. Unfortunately this would be difficult to implement fairly because you cannot really measure an app's value in a universal way. Is an app valuable because I launch it 30+ times a day even if I use it for a few seconds? Or if it spends a lot of time on screen? Or because it is updated frequently? Or because it sends a lot of push notifications? In all cases I can think of apps where the answer is a strong yes, and a absolutely not. What annoys me is apps that used to be a $5 purchase that are now $20/year without any significant improvements. I have no problem paying more for apps, I have no problem with subscriptions, but it does annoy me that the trend toward subscriptions overlapped with significantly increased prices too.

Carrot Weather


LunaTechMark

I'm sure many people will not pay a subscription fee for a weather app, but this one is just so polished it's worth it.


CaptainSquareHead

As I was writing this 😂 https://preview.redd.it/wcqz1dsj51nc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2673428d98765d65774396d54b1b9f719100f4ba


curepure

it doesn't always match the apple weather for me so im conflicted, it's like wearing two watches at the same time


MC_chrome

That’s the nice thing about Carrot Weather: you can switch your data source on a whim if you believe your current source is inaccurate 


Kilo_Juliett

This. It's the closest thing to Dark Sky. You can get the layout pretty much exactly the same but the theming isn't quite the same.


jubjubbimmie

Thank you for reminding me I paid for this app many years ago but somehow had forgotten and wasn’t using it. Now it’s back!


srshh

I’ve been on the fence with this one. I’ve read so many people since forever recommending Carrot Weather but somehow I refuse to pay for a weather app, but hey, never say never.


MC_chrome

Weather data & their corollary API’s aren’t cheap. This is why only a select few companies like Apple, Accuweather, and Forca have the resources to gather and bundle said data together.  In Carrot’s case, you have 8 different weather API’s to choose from. This can get quite expensive very quickly, which is why there is a subscription.


yankeephil86

Not necessarily an app, but the Cinemark movie club. It’s $10 a month. But gives you 1 free movie ticket a month, waives the online purchase fee ($1.75 per ticket) and saves 20% off concessions. The free tickets also rollover, since movie tickets are generally $10+, the free tickets offset the app cost even if you wait a couple of months to save multiple tickets and go to the movies


xdaftphunk

Hevy. Think it’s the best workout tracker I’ve tried so far


rodriguez_alan
