Slightly related: For all the crap the iOS store gets for many (good) reasons, this is one reason I actually LOVE to buy subscriptions through iOS/Apple when that option is available for a platform. They have the most simple cancellation process to manage all your subscriptions in one place. Sometimes it costs a $1 or more to buy through iOS but it's worth it to easily cancel without any hoops.

My uncle got a surprise $100 credit card charge. He had clicked on a scam pop-up on his Apple iPhone. Somehow that led to installing an app and paying for an annual subscription. One support message to Apple got a refund.
