iTunes: Purchasing and managing auto renewaing subscriptions

Really, I cannot answer that with all certainty .... but with a quick Google search, I found this article.

http://www.applegazette.com/games/review-new-york-times-crosswords/

This paragraph copied from the end of the article makes it seem like this is not an auto renew subscription.

If you defeat the thirty included puzzles and want more, you can buy another thirty (aka, one month’s worth of daily crosswords) for $1.99, six months for $9.99, or a full year’s worth for $16.99. And you’re not obligated to play the puzzles in the allotted amount of time you purchase. For example, if I buy a one-month subscription, I receive all of the daily crosswords from that month as they’re published, but those puzzles stay in my library forever; I don’t have to solve them before my subscription runs out.

The bold copy indicates to me - that you have to buy another subscription when the current one runs out. to me that means that when the subscription runs out - you are done and don't have to do anything else.

And if the app does not appear in your settings as an auto renew, I would assume that it is not an auto renewing subscription. But once again - that is the way I read the information.

After a little more digging, I found this.
