What can I do to get my money back when I bought an App that doesn't work

Is There some kind of recourse or way of getting my money back for an App that Imdownloaded that just plaindoesn't work correctly.
I was a ble to write a review that it doesn't work but honestly I'd like top get my money back.
Any advice please.

Hi Andy,
I have had experienced this more than a couple of times with purchases from the App Store.
Your product should have a support link, either on their web page or under Help. Go to there and submit a message about the fault you experience and the company should get back to you relatively quickly (not Apple, but the vendor).
I live in Australia and after purchasing my third app that didn't work I submitted a help request and in the end the company (after I sent a copy of the App Store receipt) issued me with a serial number I could use and downloaded the product from their website. This only took two days - not bad considering time diff (company was in US). Support person was very helpful.
Trust me, they want your business. If you experience a problem, chances are others are too.
I no longer purchase apps from the App Store without trialling them first. Since there are no trial apps on App store, I always go to vendors website.
While I understand Apple is not responsible for the third party apps found in the App Store, the duds that are in there sure are breeding a lot of frustration for Mac users.
Side note - my sister recently purchased Norton Antivirus for Mac - after trying to get it to open the activation window so I could enter the Product Key (for two days!) we are now in the process of getting our money back from Symantec. While you may not have any luck with the App Store, you may find you have luck with the actual vendor (software producer), get onto their tech support and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Tell your "friend" to pay you back. All sales from the app store and iTunes store are final.

HT4009 My 6 yr d daughter somehow made in app purchases. What can I do to get my money back. I did not give permission for this.

My 6 yr old made some purchases without my knowledge how did she do that and I want to know how to get my money back.

She did it by using a standard feature of the phone (detailed in the User Guide), that you didn't turn off (again detailed in the User Guide), before giving it to a child who doesn't yet have the skills to read and understand that same User Guide, you - as the phones owner - should have read.

I have an accidental purchase. What can i do to get my money back?

I did not mean to buy something because I already own it. I paused the download. What can i do to to be my money back?

You may not get a refund. All sales are final.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for anexception.

BTW, pausing the download will not stop the purchase. The purchase is made when you hit "buy".

Why does apple not care about it's customers? you can't contact itunes when you buy an app that doesn't work or doesn't live up it what is advertised

I'm very frustrated. I bought Text'ndrive2 and it doesn't work but there is no way to contact Itunes. You always have to go throught Apple. There are many apps that do not live up the their adversitment. why doesn't Apple care about their customers?

Apple tests every single app for basic functionality (does it start up?, does it do what the developer says it will do?). Additionally, each and every app is checked to insure that the app doesn't do bad things (no malware) or use private, unpublished APIs. If any of these requirements aren't met, the app gets rejected. That doesn't mean some apps aren't worth paying for but that's up to the marketplace to decide.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

You can try contacting iTunes support via this page and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Not sure why you did this.
You can change the e-mail address associated with an account.
All purchases will always be tied to the account form which they were purchased.

Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if the email text shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it they try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
