How to get a refund for paid app i never received

In April of 2014 I attempted to perform an in-app purchase in the game HayDay, which I had downloaded for free on my older iphone 4s that I also had at this time. I still have an iphone 4s but it is a different one. But that's not important. What my question is, is that every time I would go to purchase some diamonds or what ever else I wanted in the app It would tell me there was an error and it could not be purchased. I kept trying a few times and then finally gave up. I had no idea that it was saying error even though the actual charges on my credit card were going through and I spent(lost) somewhere over a hundred, maybe two, on some stupid in-app purchases that I never received and got my credit card took quite a hit from that. I called Apple and they said they could not help me and I had to get a hold of the creators of HayDay in order to get a refund. I found the contact email to get a hold of the creators and they never answered my issue. I asked many times and no one can help me. What do I do to get that money back that shouldn't have ever been taken from my credit card in the first place? I have all the order numbers and stuff if need be.

HT1349 HOW TO GET A REFUND ON PAID APP

I downloaded a paid app only to find it is absolutely useless to me but apparently useful to a whole lot of people as i felt comfortable from the reviews. I have deleted it but want my money back. How do i get apple to reverse it and cancel it from my apps.

I think I have the issue solved. I contacted the app developer who apologized for the confusion but directed me back to Apple support. I then sent an email and a Cecille (itune store advisor) spewed rubbish while being very polite...short story, he denied the request, then pasted a link to Apple terms and then signed off by saying my patience and understanding will be highly appreciated.
I then called and another specialist reviewed it and reversed it and said they had provisions for cases such as mine. So, yes, you can get refunded but i think just make sure to exchange with the developer first then itunes and make sure its within an acceptable time as i did mine almost immediately after download and realized it did not do what it was downloaded for.

HT3702 Does anyone know how to get a refund for an app that is no longer required.

I have downloaded apps that I no longer require, does anyone know how I can get a refund. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Apple considers all sales to be final. There are no refunds. Especially no refund just because you think that you don't need to use the app anymore.
When you don't need your vacuum cleaner any more because you have a new one, does Walmart let you bring the old on back for a refund?

How can I get a refund for unwanted app?

My kids downloaded an extension of an app, made for kids, that cost $100. They thought it was free, until I got the bill. How can I get a refund for this and remove the app? This is wrong on so many levels, beginning with having a free app for kids luring them to a ridiculously priced one. Any help is appreciated.

You posted in the Mac computer OS X Tiger 10.4 forum. You don't provide enough info. Was this an iPad app, iPhone app, an iPod app purchased from the iTunes store? Or an app purchased from another source?
The remedy - don't give your kids the password and answer to security questions.
If purchased from the iTunes store, there's a link on the invoice.

How do you get a refund for an app that was purchased through the new App Catalog for a WebOS app!

Hi,
I just purchased a Dictionary app from Palm's App Catalog, the product is listed as: English Dictionary and Thesarus by Ultralingua, Inc. and it was not something that was advertised correctly and hence is not something that I want.
It costs a whopping $9.99 and if it was as advertised, it would have been worth the money but it is not.
I've had Dictionaries on my Palm Devices so when I saw the first directory for the WebOs for use on Pre, I immediately got it.
However, unlike my old Palm dictionaries, this dictionary requires you to have a network connection. Something that is not useful for me. I sometimes like to look up word while on the subway to work (I live in NYC) where this is no network connection.
There was nothing in the description that said it 'required' a network connection, and considering that all of the dictionaries I have gotten in the past did not require a network connection, I assumed (since it didn't state anything) that I could use it off-line.
Heck, since you are required to use this dictionary online, I might as well use google to lookup a word and that is free!
So I believe I was tricked into getting this app, and I want a refund!
And there doesn't seem to be a way to get a refund for an app that did not disclose it's requirements before I made my purchase.
Thanks for you help in finding out how to get a refund when its needed!
Rob
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Palm does have the ability to remove apps remotely, that was added in the last update.
I knew that would be Palm's response, but I earn you now, Palm better make sure they put a better description on these apps. And in this case its Palm's fault for not disclosing that this app required network support in order to work.
They should at least make that part of a feature description.
This is the second app that I purchased that was not advertised correctly. So I far I have spent good money on crap only because the descriptions did not contain the right info.
I see the only solution is to make all apps have at least a one hour free trail, or whatever free trial you want.
I and I'm sure I'm not alone can't keep purchasing stuff that either doesn't work as advertised or is misleading in the description.
I mean really Palm, you approved a dictionary app that just does a google in the background and displays the definition.
I can do that same thing by typing it on my Pre and hitting Google?
I still feel cheated and ripped off.
I signed up for Palm and WebOS because I wanted to give you a second chance but that love only goes so far. I think Andriod will be in my life soon. I can't stand by and let myself be taken advantage of.
I just can't believe how angry and upset I AM over this.

How to get a refund of In-App Purchase in iPad?

My son was playing around with my iPad and accidentally purchased the Color and Mixer tool in Paper by FiftyThree application on my iPad.
I can get a refund for any APP purchased through the App Store from my iTunes Purchase History, but, when I click 'Report A Problem' on the 'Paper by FiftyThree, Color', it direct me to a link to the iTunes Support page.
How can I get my refund, each costs $1.99 which is important for me.

How can I get a refund for an app that did not download/do not now want

I decided to buy an app that cost £39.99. It did not download & still has not 24 hours later. Meanwhile iTunes have emailed a receipt for the payment. I have clicked on Report a Problem on the receipt but it does not lead anywhere. Suggestions please.

Once you buy it you have bought it and Apple generally does not do refunds. You can ask but it will have to be an exception.
How to request a refund for an iTunes or App Store purchase - http://www.imore.com/how-request-refund-itunes-or-app-store-purchase
What can be done is try to redownload the app.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756 Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right. Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26364186#26364186) You can re-download your available previous purchases.
