If Sandy's talks help you, please consider supporting the app, with a subscription or a one-off lifetime purchase. It removes every advert, opens every tape for good, turns on offline downloads, keeps the tapes online and helps fund free A.A. apps for others. Subscriptions are monthly or yearly, or you can pay once for lifetime access, with nothing to renew. A free trial may be offered on the subscriptions; the App Store shows its length and the price before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them at any time in your Apple ID's subscription settings.
