Not receiving bundles I purchase

I have purchased a bundle that cost 12.99 for 10 decks. We didn’t get to use it when we had a party. I requested a refund for the bundle since I still have not received it from four days ago and Apple is denying a refund, but I still do not have the bundle and I did not get to be able to use it when I purchased it. I have deleted the app reinstall the app. Still don’t have it.

Only gives you access to to 10 decks

Since it’s a purchased app I assumed you would get all access to all decks, but NOPE! You just have 10 and only 2 are family friendly for little kids. Regret buying it

Quality?

A good app but you can’t customize anything. What if I wanted to simply go for two minutes.. would easily be a nice feature but??
