### 1/5 — Waste money

*2020-11-22, version 1.0*

Totally waste your money

**Developer response:** This criticism is not constructive! 

Apple offers a very trouble-free and easy way to cancel iTunes purchases: 
Go to: https://reportaproblem.apple.com/, find the app, click on the Report a Problem button, and select the options from the dropdowns.

That's it! 

You don't need to specify any reasons why you want to revoke your purchase.

Thank you.
