If you were a Twitterrific or Tweetbot user, you should download the latest versions of those apps from the App Store and launch them. Here’s why: https://daringfireball.net/2023/03/tweetbot_and_twitterrific_face_the_cliff
Tweetbot and Twitterrific Face the Cliff

There is something noble about two longtime rivals — competitors, yes, but with nothing but deep respect and camaraderie for each other — facing this terrible cliff together, with dignity and grace, considering their users first, as ever.

In case it’s not clear from this post https://daringfireball.net/2023/03/tweetbot_and_twitterrific_face_the_cliff the reason you’re being asked to tap a button that says you don’t want a refund on the remainder of your Twitterrific or Tweetbot subscription is that Apple WILL send you a refund if you don’t do this. You must explicitly opt out of receiving a refund.

@siracusa I figured it had to be something like that since both apps were doing it in a very similar way.

I’m very curious to hear more about how their discussions with apple went that lead to them adding the feature and about the APIs involved in indicating no refund needed.

Is this a standard api, or something first built just for this situation?
