Settings → Subscription

Sentence at the bottom of the section: “Without a subscription, your own sources can’t be used; demo mode stays free. Your provider data stays saved until you decide.”

This wiki does not state any prices or subscription periods. What the subscription costs and how long a trial lasts is shown only by the app on the purchase screen. The states the app displays are described under Subscription and backup.

“Status” display

At the top of the section you see the state as the app knows it:

  • “No subscription — demo mode”
  • “Trial — … days left (until …)”
  • “Active — renews on …” or “Active — ends on …”
  • “Expired on …”

This is not a setting, just a display.
