Is a Woodworking Companion App Subscription Worth It?

Users feel cheated paying for content they cannot access. Multiple complaints about having to pay twice (print + digital), overpriced back issues, and better deals offered to new subscribers than existing customers. Strong resentment about paying for abandoned/broken apps.

Users are willing to pay annual subscriptions and premium prices for woodworking content, but only if the app actually works. Several users purchased subscriptions immediately before encountering critical bugs, indicating high purchase intent.

Subscription model is acceptable but users expect content they paid for to remain accessible permanently. Auto-renew subscriptions without working apps generate extreme frustration and cancellation requests.
