All the channels you follow are listed in the Follow tab, where you can also see all the videos retrieved from the feed, along with some basic channel info and if you touch channel avatar you can read a description of channel. -- Subscription Details -- • Monthly and annual subscriptions are available. • Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is disabled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. • Automatic renewals will be charged at the same price you were originally charged for the subscription. • Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled by going to Account Settings on the App Store after purchase. • Lifetime Premium is also available as a one-time purchase with no recurring charges.
