Spend your leftover Apple Account balance to exactly 0.00, then change your App Store country or region. Last Cent builds the purchase plan for your region, including U.S. sales tax by ZIP code. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS • App Store purchases have fixed prices, and the cheapest one sets a minimum that differs by region. A leftover below it can't be spent by any app. • If a top-up is needed, you see the smallest amount before paying. • Free alternative: Apple Support can clear a small leftover on request. HOW IT WORKS • Select your region and enter your current balance. • Get a purchase plan. • Make the purchases one by one. • Check your remaining balance after each purchase. If the amount changes or something is still left, enter the new balance – Last Cent will recalculate the plan. If your balance is too low for the cheapest available purchase, the app will show you how much you need to add. NO ACCOUNT ACCESS Last Cent does not sign in to your account, ask for your password, or read your actual balance. You enter the amount yourself. BUILD YOUR DISTRICT Purchases earn bricks that you can use to build your own district with houses, trees, cafés, towers, and other objects. You can move or remove buildings at any time. Removing a building returns the bricks you spent on it. IMPORTANT Last Cent does not change your country or region for you. Once the remaining balance is spent, you can change it yourself in your account settings.

План стремится минимизировать остаток и количество системных подтверждений. Точный результат зависит от введённой суммы и доступных цен. КАК ЭТО РАБОТАЕТ • Введите остаток вручную • Получите рассчитанный план • Просмотрите номиналы и количество покупок • Подтверждайте каждую операцию в системном окне • Получайте опыт и звёздную пыль за проверенные покупки ИГРОВОЙ ПРОГРЕСС Прокачивайте Люму, открывайте косметические предметы и собирайте собственный образ в гардеробе.
