    It seems to have changed? Apparently, getting a refund is no longer guaranteed [1]. Also, compare with Kindle, where you can download a sample of any book you like, and it just sits until you get around to reading it. Once you finish the sample, you can decide whether to buy it. I think that model is closer to free with in-app purchases than anything else.

      Wow! It did change! When? Went from 2 days to 15 minutes to none.

  Windows Phone had tried that, with some games marketplace had two links, Buy and Try Demo. So was time or feature limited and you can purchase normally from an in game link, to unlock the full version.

  Basically, apps that use a single in-app purchase to unlock the full version should not be lumped into the micro-transaction crap pile and should be clearly marked as such.
