Apple refunds

Did you know that you can request a refund for apps or content that you’ve bought from Apple? I tried on Wednesday, after buying a Safari extension ($5.99) that was, at least for me, unworkable. No names, because the failure might be mine. (But I doubt it, given that the extension was last updated two years ago.)

I typed an explanation of why I was asking for a refund — persuasively, I guess, because the money was refunded yesterday.

I have no idea what happens if you try to run an app after getting a refund. I just deleted.

I've gotten several refunds from Apple and from Amazon, but you usually have to do it fairly quickly.

Amazon did an amazing refund for us, and didn't even ask for the product back (defective furniture snd an unresponsive manufacturer). Some Mac developers will do it, but this one announces in advance that he doesn't. I think he's figured out that many people are not going to get this app to work. :)
