lifetime purchase, not showing in family sharing page

Budget Flow

I purchased a lifetime subscription in hope of tracking my expenses and also sharing it with my partner. When I go to the subscription page or family sharing page in my Settings app, I am unable to see Budget Flow there. I’m kind of disappointed because the app clearly states that the lifetime plan supports family sharing, but I am unable to see it even though I have purchased the app on the same Apple account which shows in my App Store purchases.

    Hi @Arii,

    Thank you for your message and for purchasing the Lifetime version. I’m sorry for the confusion!

    The Lifetime version does support Family Sharing, but it is a one-time purchase, not a recurring subscription, so it will not appear in Apple’s subscription list.

    Please check that Purchase Sharing is enabled under Settings => Family => Purchase Sharing. The family organizer needs to enable it, and you should also make sure your purchases are shared with the group.

    Your partner can then open Budget Flow on their device and tap “Restore Purchases” at the bottom of the app’s purchase screen. They do not need to purchase the Lifetime version again.

    Apple explains Purchase Sharing here: https://support.apple.com/108774

    If the full version still does not unlock, please ask your partner to contact me through Budget Flow => Settings => Contact Developer. The included support information will help me investigate.

    Best regards,

    Fabian
