I just bought an iPhone app knowing that it may or may not provide the feature which was the entire reason for me buying it. I figured I could always get a refund if it doesn't do what I want. It doesn't. But now I've realized I don't know how to get a refund. Is it possible?

I have not had success with "Reporting a problem," because my requests have been ignored in three different cases now.
Here's my workflow that has worked for me each time:
- Purchase App
- Find something wrong with App
- Report a problem (it will be ignored, but do this just to say you did)
- Contact credit card provider and dispute the charge with your reasons (mine are usually "software did not work at all" or "as promised")
- Wait 3-5 business days
- Credit card provider resolves dispute, issues refund
- Apple disables AppleID due to "security risk" of account access
- Contact apple support by emailing or asking for a phone call
- Wait 1-2 business days for response
- Kindly explain what happened, they respond by following a walkthrough of re-enabling your account after verifying security questions

In iTunes, go to Store ->View My Account ->Purchase History. Select Report a Problem. Fill out the form explaining what happened, and Apple will get back to you with information about whether your refund has been approved or denied.

3I did this, but after selecting "Application does not work as expected" and typing in my explanation, including request for refund, I got a message that I need to ask the developer for support and the developer's web page opened in Safari. I guess I won't be getting a refund. Commented Oct 31, 2010 at 4:05

1@Daryl Unless the developer deliberately mislead you, it's highly unlikely that you'll get a refund from Apple. Sorry. Commented Oct 31, 2010 at 4:07
