The weightloss app simple is blatantly lying about the welcome offer. (infosec.pub)

In this pricing table welcome offer says 34.99 per 3 month which feels like you pay 35 euro for every 3 months but actually its only for the first 3 month and it auto renews at 69.99 euros.

i am not even sure how can this be legal.

That's pretty much standard practice for subscriptions, hell, even classic contracts for ISPs for example, use this pricing scheme.

I guess it's asshole design ... but it's been around so long it feels silly pointing it out these days.
