Comment on Show HN: an app to help your family be on time

So apple recurring payments (the ones like magazines) are really only allowed for things that grant monthly content. You can't do apps that have a service component like this through that payment scheme.

You can sell the app 1x with the service bundled in it, launch this as a website service that the apple app store just happens to have a client for (that has no way to take payment), or you can sell consumable credits the user can use in a pre-paid phone esque way to use the service, or lastly you can have a non-automatic way to do a subscription called a "non-renewing subscription" in which the person has to click every month to pay you.

I think you folks have some thinkin about how you're going to do this. Email me in my profile if you'd like to chat about this a bit, I do this for a living and have fought with apple about subscriptions for years for many clients

Will _definitely_ be in touch.
