I generally use the Apple app store on my phone if anything requires a subscription, even if I usually use the service on some other device. It just makes it way easier to see which subscriptions are still in effect, and lets you cancel them with one click. I hate Apple's billing monopoly shenanigans in general, but this one case where it actually benefits the end-user.
