It's one thing to ask for a refund, and another to file a complain. Is it? I wrote to the developer regarding an app that woulnt work on my documentsl but I don't even got a reply, I wonder if they take a glance on those complaints when you have made purchased already.

I e-mailed them directly. It's a wishful thinking on my part.

I tried to go to support for the app. The link goes to the company, called ultie. When you go there you get a blog with irrelevant posts and no way to contact anybody for support. It seems to be a Japanese company - a lot of the text is in Japanese. I see no way to communicate with them.

I'll try to get the refund from Apple as above. Thank you.

I accidentally bought credit for a game that let's you buy credit to play things in the game (my 4 year old did actually) and the refunded it. There was even a place to select 'accidental purchase' . I thought they were quite good about it but they said it was a one-off.

Hmm....Strange because they did EXACTLY that for me a couple times.

I have an android phone and you have 24hrs to return any app with out any question. That is Fair.

That's not true. They changed it awhile ago. Now you only have 15 minutes, which in most cases is plenty of time.

i buy, backup, refund, try and either buy again or remove. nice system, though thievery is a temptation, but i do buy ones i keep. sometimes 15 mins to try is just not enuff

I think that once you've paid your money, you own it. Do your due diligence before pressing the install button, then be prepared to live with your decision.

Caveat Emptor.

That's kind of a silly opinion imho. Why should the customer take any risk, especially considering the sellers suffer no loss/damages by issuing a refund.

If you 'phone the toll-free Apple Support line you'll be offered a refund for any app that you've purchased and that is not satisfactory in some way. Tell them your transaction reference number from your iTunes account and you'll be given a refund as a credit to your iTunes account. Of course, that app will no longer be updated and, next time you synchronise with your PC, it will be deleted.

A couple of times I have bought the iPhone version of an app instead of the desired iPad version. I see it on some site and click on the link then don't notice it's the iPhone version until its already downloading. I did it with 'GOODREADER' just a few weeks ago. That was a wasted £2.99
I just assumed there is no way to reverse the purchase. There should be though, especially if you can show you just bought the iPad version right after.
It would be good if they could make the iPad and iPhone screens dramatically different as I haver very slight dyslexia and also I'm a bit colour blind so it's an easy mistake to make.

Just want to share that I was successful in getting back a few bucks on an app that didn't work out for me. The process worked just as described, I emailed them and heard back the next day. Refund on its way within 5-7 business days.

Easy as pie. Or cake.

The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Servicesâ€) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances. If a credit card or your PayPal account is being used for a transaction, Apple may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing occurs at the time of or shortly after your transaction. If you are using 1-Click purchasing or your PayPal account, your order may be authorized and billed in increments during one purchasing session, so it may appear as multiple orders on your statement. If an iTunes Card, iTunes Store Gift Certificate, or Allowance Account is used for a transaction, the amount is deducted at the time of your transaction. When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

Thanks for sharing this.
