While they could certainly do better in cleaning out shitty apps, Apple has always given me a refund for dodgy apps without question, almost always within a day.
App too buggy? Too overpriced? Tinder boost that went bust? No problem.
Meanwhile apps that use their own payment mechanisms, like crappy Couchsurfing, basically just ignore all my emails.
No other digital store has covered my ass this much from predatory developers.
- schmorptron 6y agoSteam comes to mind - routinely banning developers who post fake reviews for their own products, and banning developers who threatened legal actions towards customers over negative reviews.
- Razengan 6y agoSteam is a close second, but they denied me a refund for Frostpunk (great game) because the publisher falsely listed it as Mac compatible. It was an empty download, but trying to launch it still ticked off Steam’s time limit for refunds, apparently. They finally released a Mac version after about 100 years and it was worth it though.
- powerapple 6y agoI am sure they do better for paid apps, somehow the introduction of in-app purchase created many "free" apps. I had one would link you to a webpage to make payment on third party platform. The free trial was $1 and the other choice is yearly subscription of $800 or something. I am sure they violated appstore policy using third party payment system, but reporting the app was not easy because it is a "free" app.
