  The problem with Grow is essentially their membership verification logic, which frequently follows the App Store. If you often switch App Store accounts, it is really troublesome. You can only communicate with them to see if it will be modified later; For several people who often switch accounts, it's really a headache to encounter this kind of app 🤦

  @ Anonymous2472 looks like it was intentional. Ready to deprecate this app. It's too ugly to eat

  I have abandoned it because of frequent withdrawal from membership. Although the medal inside is well designed, it is annoying to frequently restore membership By the way, is there a similar app that gets medal incentives through sports? I find it very useful to me, 😂

  @ Poster What does it have to do with playing the APP yourself? Shouldn't the APP verify membership permissions?

  There are too many shared members. Officials use this measure to avoid sharing accounts.

  @ Poster Why is this ugly? You can only use whichever account you use to subscribe to. It's no problem. Just eating at the buffet doesn't necessarily mean that you are full and someone else will eat

  @ Poster # 2 In fact, various members of Apple also follow this logic. Apple Music, Apple TV, iCloud, etc. are all the same. It's not surprising that developers follow suit, right?

  Apple's membership verification logic is that it must follow the App Store account. As for why some apps can't do this, it's because they either have their own self-built membership system, or they cache the membership verification information locally (these functions require development costs and the risk of white prostitution where the account is shared). Therefore, following the App Store account is the lowest cost and safest.

  Which app to grow has a link to 🔗

  I have the impression that the Grow app follows iCloud. I have two iPhones, both of which are logged in to iCloud in China, but one of the AppStore is in the US and the other is in China. On the mobile phone in the US area, first download Grow with the national account and activate the membership, and then change back to the US account. After a while, it is found that the membership activation has disappeared. But then I also installed Grow on my mobile phone in China, and found that my mobile phone in the United States also activated membership.

  @ Anonymous2751 The key is that its interface shows that it supports Apple's native home sharing. But it is actually effective. My two accounts are open and shared with each other

  @ Poster grow's family sharing subscription is actually ineffective
• Anonymous2751 Jun 1, 2025
  @ Poster "To share purchases, family members' Apple accounts must belong to the same country or region" ---- In fact, the reason for this problem is the ownership of the purchased goods. The things purchased by account A obviously do not belong to account B. It is recommended not to toss. I am also a developer. From my personal experience, among 1,000 users, there may be one or two users who have this demand. It is difficult to have the motivation to develop an additional set of verification logic, and then risk account sharing and being prostituted by free members. risk

  @ Anonymous2751 I have the impression that grow has only recently become like this. Before, I have been a member of the U.S. app store growth for a long time. There are still some domestic users who use two regional accounts

  In fact, many people, especially in China, have several Apple IDs. Isn't it normal to switch IDs? Therefore, some APPs also have their own verification methods outside the Apple account system for in-APP purchase subscriptions, but some APPs are too lazy or disdainful to do it. I won't use this kind of APP for this bad experience of frequent verification failures. There are many homogeneous APPs, so just choose another one

  @ Poster @ Anonymous8081 It is estimated that there are too many accounts for free whoring, and there are restrictions. I see that many Xianyu and Xiaohongshu sell Grow shared accounts
• Poster Jun 1, 2025
  @ Anonymous8081 Indeed. This approach of grow will also cause the loss of users who originally paid independently. After all, there are too many cheap products to choose from. Don't spoil such developers

  @ Anonymous2751 # 16 You can have your own account system and control the number of devices

  Some users upstairs, to put it bluntly, you are not their target users, and you don't expect your three melons and two dates to make developers rich. This practice not only didn't make people lose users, but also lived and nourished.

  @ Anonymous8081 # 18 Of course (I also said in # 8, either build your own system, or cache it locally, and verify it regularly), but obviously the "cost" is too large and developers are unwilling (look at Xianyu and Xiaohongshu You will know how many are selling Grow member account sharing) At this time, we can only choose both ways
