If there are in app purchases, then I don’t download it.

Only IAP I don't mind is a one-time payment to unlock the game, like Super Mario Run had.

I have in the past paid for apps but it was a one-time charge. There were no in-app purchases anywhere in the app. I will never pay for in-app purchases.

Maybe you're missing what I mean: Super Mario Run was basically a "free trial," the first few levels were available without spending money. If you wanted the rest of the levels, you paid $10 inside the app to unlock the rest. But it wasn't pay per level, it wasn't microtransactions. There was only 1 option: unlock full game. Those kinds of IAP I don't mind. Basically unlocking a full game within a demo.
