App purchases (IAP) - a tool to monetize freemium-applications, or more simply, extra income for developers and Apple - since its inception are the source of headaches for the parents of young children. The most recent example - the Briton told the newspaper The Sun, that Apple pay him 4,000 pounds (US $ 6131.) That his daughter has spent over 4 months.
Lee Neal (Lee Neale), 43-year-old child's father, said that his daughter spent 2,000 pounds in Campus Life Games, My Horse, Hay Day and Smurfs' Village. Neal claims he learned about waste only at the moment when the bank froze his account.
Daughter of the Nile knew the password to the iTunes account of his father, he peeped at that moment, when he set up for her games. His inattention to the state of the bank account explains Neil job to work.
Initially, Apple has refused to reimburse the costs to the built-in purchase, stating that "all purchases made on the iTunes Store are final." However, a week later, it became known that Apple has changed its decision.
"I got a call from Apple and said they will return the money I lost, and apologized for having closed my business so fast - says Nile - They really saved my skin."
Nile case - one of the many others in which children are "tripped" their parents to great expense in iTunes. In March, another British child has spent £ 1,000 while playing the popular game based on the animated series "The Simpsons." Apple also repair the damage to his parents.
In 2011, a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that the system is in-appov made so that the children all too easy to make unwanted. Apple recently settled the dispute by issuing a one-time credit to all plaintiffs in the iTunes Store in the amount of $ 5 or equivalent in terms of game currency. To avoid future problems Apple has added a warning about the built-in purchases description of the applications in the App Store. In addition, the App Store appeared educational section designed to educate users about the rules committing app purchases, as well as how they can be disabled to prevent unwanted purchases on the part of children.
