How do I see in App prices before I download?

All the apps now have "get" but when I scroll down their listing, they don't list the pricing. I have to download the app, see what the price/subscription is, and decide there if I even want the app.

If not, I have to back out, delete the app and start over.

I don't go to the grocery store, pick up the items I want, guessing at which brand I may want, then go to the checkout line before they tell me the cost. And if I want to compare it to others, send me back to the aisle to get another and bring it back up front to check its price.

Is there a way to see that I'm missing?

iPhone 8, iOS 15

If it has a GET button, it means it's free to download.

If it has a price tag instead of the GET button, then it costs that amount of money to download. It may have additional in-app purchases however.

If it has other in-app purchases and subscriptions, you can find them in the information section of the App, under in-app purchases.

You can ignore any in-app purchases you don't want and can cancel any subscriptions that may start automatically before they renew and charge you however.

Thanks.

What about the apps that say "get" which is the approval for a free download, but then have nothing free? (and post nothing in the area you have shown as a screen shot?)

I don't mind paying for my stuff but, this system seems to have a loop hole that hides the prices until after a download.

I see what it is now so I guess this is not longer a question. More of a feedback post.

If they show nothing in in-App purchases, then they should have no additional charges for anything.

The App Store terms require the developers to disclose any in-app purchases the app has in that section.

Which app is this that has no in-app purchases, and has nothing free?
