Yucts Plus Subscription
Yucts Plus is the app's paid membership, paid in the app through the Apple App Store.
Opening the Yucts Plus page
- "Profile & settings" → "Member" → "Upgrade to Yucts Plus" (members see "Yucts Plus member").
- Tapping a VIP item in "Color Theme" or "App Icon" also opens the Yucts Plus page ("Close" at the top left takes you back).
Plans
| Plan | Description |
|---|---|
| Monthly Subscription | Auto-renewing; cancel anytime |
| Yearly Subscription | Auto-renewing; saves two months' worth of fees (selected by default) |
| Lifetime Unlock | Pay once, yours forever (not a subscription) |
Prices are as shown in the App Store.
Member benefits
Yucts Plus members get these benefits:
- No third-party ads: hides Google and other third-party ads. YUCTS's own deals and coupon codes aren't third-party ads, so Plus members still see them, and they're labelled.
- VIP user group (unlock the forum VIP group)
- Exclusive Themes (5 "VIP Exclusive" color themes)
- Exclusive App Icons (Sakura)
- VIP Prestige Identity (gold badge, avatar frame & card)
- Support the team
Yucts Plus members can also:
- Use "Change username" (see Account & Sign-in).
- Get 10× the daily quota for the cloud AI assistant (see AI Assistant & Translation).
How to subscribe
- Open the Yucts Plus page and pick a plan under "Choose Plan".
- When you're signed out, the button reads "Please sign in to your forum account" — tap it to sign in first. Once signed in, it becomes "Upgrade Now".
- Tap "Upgrade Now" and complete payment in the system sheet.
- When you see "Thank you for your support!", you're all set.
Membership status
Membership is determined from two sources; if either is active, you're a Plus member:
- Apple in-app purchase: a monthly, yearly, or lifetime purchase made in the app.
- Forum plan: Yucts Plus obtained on the forum, including staff-granted upgrades, with the same benefits.
Once you're an active Plus member, the page no longer shows plans, purchase buttons, or "Restore Purchases" — only a status card and "Your Benefits":
- The status card shows "Lifetime Member" or the expiry date with days remaining.
- Apple subscriptions show "Manage / Unsubscribe", which opens subscription management in the App Store.
- Forum plans show the membership status and expiry date.
- Lifetime members are told there's no need to pay again.
Expiry reminders
- Before your membership expires, the app sends a local notification (notifications must be allowed; lifetime members don't get one).
- Within 7 days of expiry, the Yucts Plus page shows "Your Yucts Plus is About to Expire".
- The reminder depends on the source: Apple subscriptions explain auto-renewal and how to cancel; forum plans and staff-granted upgrades remind you of the expiry date.
Restoring purchases
After switching devices or reinstalling, tap "Restore Purchases" on the Yucts Plus page to get your benefits back (sign-in required). If nothing is found, you'll see "No restorable purchases".
Managing and canceling
- Monthly / yearly subscriptions: tap "Manage / Unsubscribe" on the Yucts Plus page, or go to iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the next period starts to avoid being charged for it.
- Lifetime Unlock: a one-time purchase — nothing to manage.
- Refunds: for Apple in-app purchases, request a refund from Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com).
Deleting your YUCTS account does not cancel your Apple subscription automatically — remember to cancel it yourself.
Ads
Without Yucts Plus, banner ads appear on Home, articles, search results, deals, the forum, and elsewhere; guests always see ads. Once you upgrade, ads are no longer shown.
Choosing not to allow tracking in the system's "Allow tracking" prompt does not remove ads; it only means ads won't use your device's advertising identifier.
The bottom of the Yucts Plus page includes auto-renewal terms and links to the "Terms of Service", "Privacy Policy", and "Terms of Use (EULA)". For full terms, see the Terms of Service.
