How to get a refund from the App Store
If you want to get a refund on an app, music, movie, TV show or book purchase from the App Store or iTunes, you can go directly to Apple and request one at any time. It’s much easier thangetting a refund on PS4, which has strict stipulations on when you can request a refund on digital content, although you will need a good reason for the refund – you can’t just use the refund process to ‘trial’ premium apps you don’t really want to pay for.
But with that being said, if you’ve accidentally bought a song on the iTunes Store or downloaded a premium app that won’t run on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll more than likely be entitled to a full refund from Apple. Here’s how to get your money back from the App Store and iTunes on iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC.

Depending on the reason for your refund, you’ll likely be waiting a few days – if it’s approved, of course.
How to get a refund using iTunes on PC or Mac
