Paying for Apps

[TFarmer]

When you pay for an app and it's a usless app is there anyway to get your money back?

Lol, i don't so.
I don't think there is à 'not good, money back'-garantee.

I don't mind as they are relatively cheap. At least they don't cost full os program prices.

Fortunately there are lots of review sites out there that give you a fair idea of an apps worth. Padgadget, Appspy, Tuaw, Touch Arcade etc..
The ones i usually delete are the impulse buys....

I just bought my first one and it was supposed to track any cell phone number and tell you where it was (if on). All it woudl do was point to where I was. I put in 5-6 cell pone numbers and it only kept pointing back to my location. Didn't have a menu, either. Pretty usless even though a couple fo reviews said it worked for them.

Oh well...............

This is from a "sticky" in another section of the forum (but it should probably be a "sticky" in this section as well) --

Also youtube is good for checking reviews on. I do it all the time.

Just out of curiosity: Which app was that?

apple dont give out refunds anymore.

 

[madsquabbles]

as crappy and disorganized as android market is, at least you do have 24 hrs to get a refund. i can see how it could be (and is) abused, but it's a pain to buy an app that you find won't run on your phone or doesn't do what it's advertised to do. somethings you just can't find out until you try the app.

Cell Phone tracker

The name is Cell Phone Tracker and if you read the description the app is joke. Pretty funny one at that.

You actually fell for that?? That would be completely illegal if it actually worked! The point would be if you're with someone and you type in there number to show them it can find them...it finds you...who is in the exact same place as them....

Well, I'm new and thought if iTunes was involved with it then it was ok. Learned a big ole $0.99 lesson. )
