We’re not Apple, we’re other users like you, so we’re not the “Why do u” you’re aiming for here.


The free trial automatically renews into a paid subscription, and that requires a payment card on file.


The fine print from the three month free offer:



The offer is free.


You do, however, need to cancel it, if you do not want the subscription to auto-renew.
