Do not subscribe. This is a ripoff by design. They autorenew automatically, don't allow you to turn off autorenew, don't send a notice prior to autorenewal, make it almost impossible to unsubscribe, and refuse to offer any refunds under any circumstances. This is intentional, predatory, and the worst sort of business practice. Avoid like the plague.
This is the 6th launch from The Information. View more

I am very interested in The Information opting to only have App Store-based subscriptions rather than sell via the site and via apps, given Apple and Google's cuts. I went to The Information site specifically to subscribe directly, and found I could not, unless I was a full subscriber to TI, in which case it was included. Too much infrastructure cost in building out a new product’s subscription management?
@glennf Thanks for the comment, Glenn. Glad to hear you'll be joining as a subscriber. The subscription management was actually the easy part for us given our long subscription history / business model. We opted to do in-app to start to make it easy but will share web based subscriptions soon.
@peter_schulz Ah, good to know. I prefer giving a publication ~95% after c.c. fees instead of 70%, though I appreciate the ease of in-app purchases. (I used to run a publication that started entirely on the Newsstand [it was created by Marco Arment], and we misjudged how badly Apple handled renewal notices, etc.)
