How to Get Refund from App Store?

iPhone iPAD Tips

Many people don’t know that you can actually get a refund from App Store.  I recently just had one.  This post shares how to get refund from App Store.

Why do you want a refund from App Store? In my case, I bought a wrong app.  There are so many apps with similar or even the same titles.  It is very possible that you want to buy an app, but end up getting a different one.  I have also heard a lot stories that kids bought apps via the 1-click ordering system, not even knowing they bought the apps till parents receive bills.  Fortunately, Apple has added many child-proof features, now accidences mentioned above can be prevented by some simple child-proof set ups.  For instructions, visit How to Child-Proof iPAD and iPhone.

No matter what is the case, remember App store sales policy clearly states that you cannot cancel a purchase or receive a refund for a purchase, although they do make exceptions if you have convincing reasons.

1. Open iTune on your computer, sign in with your App store user name and password

5. Within the Report Problem window, click the Problem drop-down menu and choose an option that best describes your reason for refund.  Write more in the Comments area if necessary (I highly recommend you explain the reason in detail here), then click on Submit.
