I've never succeeded on getting a refund with Google. There were a few apps that tricked me into buying a subscription (namely Musescore and Yazio), I immediately asked Google for a refund because I didn't actually get what I thought I was getting, and they denied me both times.

Now I just don't buy anything on the Play store that I can't afford to just be outright scammed on.



Two that I lost on play store:

1. World of Goo. Bought by Netflix, sunsetted, can't install old versions anymore

2. Monopoly. Bought by EA. Sunsetted/renamed to zzzMonopoly. Can't install old versions anymore.

FDroid has my attention since these happened.


This is how I find out that I can't install World of Goo anymore. Man.


The Musescore app is just a minefield of subscription farming, it was somehow miserable even with an existing subscription the number of times it tried to get me to also get their weird AI learning platform. Now I've left it entirely.


Strange and not normal. I've never not gotten a refund within the allotted terms.


Was you able to eventually unsunbcribe from Musescore?


Yes, I could unsubscribe from both easily, but I wanted a refund because I couldn't use the subscriptions.
