Is a Skiing Tracker App Subscription Worth It?

Significant backlash against converting from one-time purchase to subscription model. Long-time users (4-10+ years) feel betrayed by being forced into weekly/monthly payments after previously paying once. Users report paying for upgrades that don't download or activate properly.

Users are willing to pay for advanced features but expect basic tracking functionality to remain free or one-time purchase. One user specifically mentions $2 for full app as reasonable but only if tracking works reliably.

Strong preference for one-time purchase model. Users suggest tiered approach: free basic tracking, paid advanced features/maps. The forced migration from one-time to subscription is the primary pricing complaint.
