Store App not displaying pricing!

I saw another post on this but it didn't resolve my issue. I can't see the prices of apps in the app store and that is just down right deceptive practice when previously they were right there next to the apps name and plain to see if you download it this is what it will cost you. I don't see any "In App purchase" section anywhere and why do I have to go somewhere else to find the price what gives?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

The only thing I found is in settings> click my apple ID>Purchase History which displays everything I've purchased whether a single purchase or subscription and price. But I want to know what the cost is before I buy it. This is crazy!


I went on my laptop and opened the App store and that is a whole different look; there apps have a price tag, some just say "Get" and some have "Get" with "in app purchase" in small print underneath.


I called Apple Care+: she went over it with me and this is what it boils down to; the "Get" is a free app (should say free), there are some that have a straight price tag, but the "Get with In-App Purchase" you can scroll down through all the information and you will find a "In-App Purchase" to tap on and get the price on the upgraded version of the app (meaning you get a free stripped down version downloaded and gives you the option in the app to upgrade to their premium version.


I think the whole "Get"word thing is obscure to being user friendly and intuitive even kind of sounds stupid too. I can see now this was intended to replace "free" apparently to avoid misleading people, when after they download the app they find there maybe a charge associated with a premium version.


I would suggest to apple to labeled them "Download Free", "Download Fee with In-app purchase upgrades" and "Download with price". This is self explanatory and intuitive! Common programmers lets use practical terms that are self explanatory please! I just spent the afternoon over figuring out this "really"!
