All that glitters is not gold! This saying sometimes appears true for purchases made from the Apple. On many occasions we purchase a trial version of the app only to find it not working as desired. Unknowingly, we continue using the app even when the trial period expires. What happens next? We get charged for its use (as we must enter the credit/debit card details before cycle of the trial period starts). Fortunately, there’s a way to get a refund from Apple
How to get a refund from Apple
