Auto charging someone at the end of a free trial is a scam. I don't care that it's commonly accepted, it's still a scam.


Not the way Apple does it, pricing and cancellation instructions up front.

Some would argue tricking users into a free trial without telling them the subscription price is a scam. Once they start to depend on the app, it’s much harder to not subscribe.


I don't care if they're up front with the info, they should display the price when i start the trial but ask if i want to pay AFTER i evaluated the app not before.
