How to Get a Refund on Any App in the App Store

I had this problem with an app last week. Every time I started it, it crashed. I would have to wait for the iPhone to reboot. Now I realize this is only $0.99 cent and most people wouldn't have gone this far for a refund, but I mean come on, there are a lot of things I could have done with that $0.99 cents.

Here are the steps I went through to get my $0.99 cent refund.

The whole ordeal is simple. Basically you request, and they say yes or no.

  • Click on iTunes
  • Click on the iTunes Store
  • Click on your iTunes account on the right corner or Login to itunes on the right corner.
  • Go to your purchase history
  • Click report a problem
  • Select the app that you want a refund for
  • Fill out Dispute and send

There you go. That's all you need to do to request a refund. The rest is up to Apple and what ever there conclusion to the case is.
