I had two apps that radically changed their business model through updates with no recourse.
I had an app called gas cubby, which let me locally - on the phone - keep track of all my vehicles. I could enter detailed information about each car such as year, make, model, vin, insurance policy, gas purchases, oil changes and the like. It would tell you gas mileage and remind you of upcoming maintenance.
One day, the app was updated and all my local data was uploaded to the cloud.
Another app I had was camscanner from tencent that basically did the same thing. Think of all the PDFs you scan going to their cloud.
I had an app that did nothing but try to identify plants from photos of them, and they updated it to require a social media login.
Another app that let you take a photo of a wine bottle and show you reviews of the wine. They added a social media login too. My list of favorite wines was gone unless I logged in.
