I don't own an iphone and hearing that Apple will happily remove purchased applications with exactly no explanation doesn't exactly sway me towards ever getting one; however i have to ask:
Will all the people who bought it be refunded? Or does Apple simply take the money and run, leaving customers with empty hands?
- netnichols 13y agoIt's almost certainly not Apple that removed the app (unless they're the ones that bought it). Read the article again, it clearly states: > When an app is acquired, the acquirer usually requests for it to be pulled.
- admiralpumpkin 13y agoThe app wasn't removed from people's iPhone (I still have it on mine, for example); it was removed from the App Store—likely at the request of the developer.
- anu_gupta 13y agoExcept that it's only been removed from the App Store. I still have it on my iPhone. Are you saying that Apple shouldn't let developers stop selling an app?
- Mithaldu 13y ago> I still have it on my iPhone. That wasn't clear in the article. However as others noted: It's also been removed from their list of purchased apps, so if their iphone gets damaged, or it gets deleted from their phone due to a mishap, they're still out the cash they paid and left with empty hands. > Are you saying that Apple shouldn't let developers stop selling an app? They should do the same thing Steam does: Remove the store page and keep it available for redownload by customers who paid until it positively cannot function anymore.
