Do I have to pay for an app that was offered for free once?

I had to restore my iPhone and there was one app that I got for free when it was on special.  Now the app is back to its orignal $3 price tag.  So my question is, do I have to pay for it this time around?

  • Why do I have to pay for free aps?

    Why do I have to pay for free ads. I look in my bank
    Statements and says they charge like 3 dollars but the ad
    Says free. This isnt right nor is it fair I already paid 300
    For the itouch why charge me for the free aps. It's not like I
    Don't buy things from the ap store. No I don't not download
    Pro -aps.

    The price of an app, and how it is marketed, is controlled by that app's developer. They certainly may advertise that an app is free, but the App Store price is the only price. If the App Store says the app is free (ie, the download button says "Free" instead of listing a price), then it's free.
    If you are seeing a bill in your bank statement for a free app, that is probably coming from some kind of in-app purchase. Many apps have additional features or special game items that can be purchased within the app. A free app may still have such in-app purchases.
    It's important to note that in-app purchasing should be a very transparent process. It should be made clear that you are making a purchase, and you should have to enter your Apple ID password. If you have found an app that does not make this process transparent, and hides the fact that a purchase with real money is being made, that needs to be reported to Apple as a violation of the App Store rules. If Apple agrees with you, they will remove the app from the store until the developer submits a more compliant update.

  • HT201364 Hi, If I do not have to pay for free installation, why am I being asked for billing details?

    iCloud backs up your iOS device (not your Mac) automatically. You can remove the backup:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm122d3ef202
    and it will not back up again. This will not affect a backup made using iTunes. The notice you see refers to calendars, contacts, iWork documents and so on, which live on the server and are read from there by your Mac, and so will obviously disappear if you turn iCloud off altogether (which you don't need to do) or turn off Documents (which you don't need to do either).

  • Why did I have to pay for free App? ridiculous!

    The day before, I tried to download Free App, Which is "Sky Call". As the Downloading was processing, iTunes wanted me to keep registering Account to verify my statement. I thought It wouldn't charge any money because "The app" was definitely "For Free", so I just filled my name , address , even my card number as it requests. Right after I pressed the button "Done", iTunes charged me $1..?! OMG...
    I know Just $1 isn't big deal.. ,However, The point is iTunes had to ask me about agreement before it charged. If I knew that i gotta pay for it, I wouldn't keep going that Installation on the phone. I am so confused what is going on... Even though $1 might be service charge, The Apple should have got agreement from the customer! Basically, That is Duty Customers have to know.

    Apple isn't charging for a free app, it is verifying the bank card that it exists and has available funds. The charge will fall off the account without completing.

  • Do I have to pay for "free" wifi in Starbucks, etc?

    I just got an iPod touch yesterday. I mainly plan to use it as a PDA device, but since it has wifi capabilities I wouldn't mind being able to check the internet or my Gmail messages now and then.
    At home I have an iMac desktop and hence don't have wifi. (My cable modem connects to the computer via a wire) I live in an apartment building, but all the wifi connections my neighbors use were locked. So today I took it to a Starbucks, where I've heard you can get free internet access.
    But it really didn't work. The weather and stock quotes and map all updated as I thought they would, but I couldn't sync my Gmail and I couldn't get off the main page of Safari. On Safari, it was asking me if I wanted to pay for usage of AT&T's wifi connection.
    Is this how it works? You have to pay, even in Starbucks? I thought it was free? Or...am I doing something wrong? I'd love some help on this.
    Thanks and Happy New Year.

    The Starbucks free WiFi is for iPhones, not iPods.
    However for your iPod, when you register your Starbucks Card and use it at least once a month, you'll receive two consecutive hours a day of complimentary Wi-Fi, courtesy of AT&T.

  • Do i have to pay for free apps?

    When ever i try to download a free app it says "verification required, beforeyou can make any purchases you must tap contuinue to verify your payment info" it has happened with all the apps ive tried to download and its getting really annoying!
    please help

    You're asked to verify your payment information as a security precaution, even if you're only downloading a free app. If you're being constantly asked to verify, however, not just once in a while, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • I still have ilife '09. How can i update to the new ilife? Do i have to pay for each app seperately in order to update?

    I still have ilife '09. How can i update to the new ilife? Do i have to pay for each app seperately in order to update?
    I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

    iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also.  Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
    The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

    Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

    Could the credit card be expired?
    Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
    In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

  • Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    That's up to the seller of the app. Many, but not all, apps will work on both the iPhone and iPad. For those apps that do you only need to pay for them once, as long as they were purchased with the same Apple ID. But app developers have the option of selling separate versions of their app for iPhone and iPad. For those apps you have to pay for them for each platform.

  • I downloaded an app that said free, but later it turns out that I have to pay for it! Why did that happen!?!?

    I don't get it!!!

    Without knowing what app you are talking about, no one here can explain what happended. We can however, make certain assumptions.
    Many, free games include "in-app" purchases.... items that you can buy within the game that let you unlock other levels, or use to enhance the game experience. Some free games are lite versions and if you agree to upgrade the game, you may have to pay for the upgrade.
    So like I said  without knowing what game you are talking about and what you might have done during game play, we can only guess. But .... You should have been required to enter your password when you made any purchases - unless you had already entered your password for another reason - maybe to download a free app perhaps.
    Once you enter your password, you can download continuously without having to re-enter the password for a 15 minute period of time so if that's the case, only you would know what happened. If that's not the case, more details will be needed from you for a further explanation.

  • HT201925 When i try to install a free app i have to pay for every singe one none of them are free why?

    When i try to install a free game i have to pay for every single one none of them are free, why?

    Please explain in more detail.
    Are you actually seeing charges, or are you just asked to enter your CC info?
    If you're actually being charged, it could be:

    Or:

  • I have 2 Mac computers and I want to download Aperture 3 from the app store. Do I have to pay for it twice ?

    I have two macs, a mac book air and a desktop mac. I want to buy Aperture 3 from the App store and get it to both computers,but I don't want to pay for it twice. Is there a way to do this?

    No you don;t have to pay for it twice. Simply install it on one machine. Then go to the other. Log into the App store there and it will be on your pruchases list. Install from there.

    - Okay, I'm new to iTunes, do we have to pay for creating a iTunes with a monthly fee? Or pay by the drink? (Meaning: Pay for the apps that's not free.)

    iTunes is a Free Download... Apps are either Free or Cost money... depending on the App.
