        Funny how people think apple does nothing in return. They literally build that store.

        Criticism only work if you go with facts and stick with it. If you say BS among true facts, your whole point seems BS.

        Apple is no sain

            Don't try to make excuses. Every app that is popular and serious has a secure paying system, Apple just doesn't want to let go.

Saying that this app doesn't use apples private and secure payment system infers that the system they use isn't secure. That's anti competitive wording, like the astebos free cereal example

                      When you see a warning in a washing machine not to enter there when its washing this is normal as well. Or fast food that says our food is the best but warning it contains cemicals. So just read the warning and do whatever you want.

                        Apple must remove this stupid message because it is destroying the app. Apple just want to steal 30% commission

I don't think you quite understand what apple has been doing, still is, and how much actual trouble they're in and it's about time.

                            If someone wants to subscribe to Spotify, they should be allowed the choice where they can subscribe/pay for something (Spotify/their website/ Google pay/play store/apple pay/store etc). You can't then go "well if you don't use our store/payment method then we won't help and it's dangerous, WARNING WARNING WARNING" how is using Spotify itself more dangerous than using the apple store, if you get money stolen you're protected, BY LAWS. The whole reason epic games took them to court... AND WON.

                                Considering the legalities Apple had went through, I don't blame their lawyers at all for such warning signs. This is irregardless of what your and my feelings about it.

                                      As expected, apple will weasel their way out of EU's regulation.

                                      Oh well, the spice.... err I mean the fines must flow.
