Is a Canning Assistant App Subscription Worth It?

Users are extremely angry about the retroactive subscription paywall for features that were promised free at purchase. Many feel betrayed and view it as breach of contract for a $700 appliance. The subscription model has destroyed brand loyalty.

Users were willing to pay $700 upfront for the oven but strongly reject ongoing subscriptions for basic app functionality. Multiple users mention this violates their purchase expectations and US consumer protection laws.

Strong preference for one-time payment. Users explicitly state they understand paying for new hardware features but reject subscriptions for maintaining existing functionality. The subscription model is seen as greedy and unjustified given the app's poor quality.
