After the release of iOS 11, there were many casualties on App Store. Many iPhone and iPad users purchased apps from iTunes or App Store, and they didn’t get what the apps promised to deliver and so they want to get refund for iTunes and App Store Purchases. In simple words, apps fail to give the best performance or they simply didn’t work.
This happens many times and you can’t blame any single person or organization for this. Better find a solution to get rid of the problem and save your money.
