I hate the one-time premium IAP option, because I lost it in some app after reinstall, and it's not compatible with Android's family library.

I'll ignore anything that is shown to have any IAP.

At least the way it works on iOS, iOS is supposed to keep track of whether you purchased that purchase or not (that type of purchase at least not the 'buy x items' consumables), and require apps to have a 'Restore Purchases' option you can click to load which items have been bought and restore the state of your app.

At least in theory, maybe there's been a few cases where it hasn't worked. I'm not aware of any, though.

I don't know how that works on Android. That might not be supported.
