It is difficult to imagine a modern mobile gadget without a lot of applications that are constantly being improved and updated. But nothing comes from nowhere, and therefore the user must download each application to his smartphone or tablet himself. For owners of Apple equipment, as you know, the source of content is the App Store.

How to buy whatever your heart desires on the App Store

If you're already at least minimally familiar with the App Store (if not, get acquainted now), then it's time to shop here. By the way, this does not necessarily entail expenses - many applications are available for free download.

This article is designed to teach you all this. Go.

In order to purchase/download anything from the App Store, you first need to have an Apple ID, which you receive when you first register in the app store. And only after successful registration you can make purchases in the App Store (you can see the structure of the application store).

Free App Store purchase

1. We go to the App Store. Open “Top Charts”. Please note that on the right there are buttons “free”, “open”, “paid” - this means, respectively, “free”, “installed”, “paid application”.
2. Click on the application that interests us. If you tap on the icon itself, you will see short description applications, and if you immediately click on the “free” button, the installation process will begin. To complete the installation, click “install”.

Not every App purchase Store requires payment. Hello free downloads!

How to download paid apps from the App Store

To download a paid application, all steps are similar to downloading a free one, only at the end you will need to select a payment method, if during registration you did not indicate a credit card in the “payment methods” section.

If you initially selected a credit card, then upon purchase the money will be automatically debited from it. But it is not always possible to use the map, especially in the App Store. For example, changing your account country (without physically being in it) requires using a bank card from your “new” country, which, of course, is impossible. But there are options – and more about them below.

How to pay for the App Store

Credit or debit cards

At first glance, the simplest and most logical method of payment is credit or debit cards, the numbers of which you enter when Apple registration ID. But very often there is no way to “connect” the card with the App Store - it gives an error or the payment simply does not go through, so you are left without the application. And even if you managed to register a card, you should make purchases on the Internet with the utmost caution. In general, the user may be a minor, but such cards are not allowed. So, paying by card is a good method, but not entirely reliable.

Promotional codes or gift cards for iTunes, App Store, Apple Music

Promotional codes, as you understand, allow you to get discounts in the App Store when purchasing paid applications, and gift cards allow you to pay (in whole or in part) for purchases.

Promotional codes for the App Store are often given out for free on discount sites, and gift cards can be purchased at terminals or stores cellular communications. An App Store gift card allows you to credit the user's account with an amount equal to its face value. Money is credited to the account Apple user ID and can be used in the iTunes Store, App Store and iBooks Store. The main condition is that you must log in using the same Apple ID to which the funds were credited.

Please note that the money from an Apple Music gift card only applies to a subscription to this service and can only be spent on an individual subscription (we'll talk about subscriptions below).

To activate the promotional code you need:

1. go to the App Store and scroll to the bottom of the screen, where you select “enter code”;
2. Enter the promotional code in the pop-up window and click “Done.”

Payment systems

There are many of them: PayPal, IPay.ua, Apple Pay, Webmoney Transfer, YandexMoney, Alipay, Portmone.com, Privat 24.

Please note that some of the named systems do not have official confirmation of activity in Ukraine. But this fact does not prevent them from making payments ☺.

PayPal is one of the largest debit payment systems that operates in more than 190 countries. Its service allows you to make purchases in almost all areas. This system is also available in Ukraine, but it is not possible to freely withdraw and transfer money from it. However, this will not scare our users. After making some manipulations and changing the geolocation in the App Store (read what geolocation is and why it is needed), you can use this system in the App Store application without restrictions. PayPal is registered quite often in the Baltic countries, Poland, Russia and other countries. Registration on the site is clear; you just need to carefully read and fill out the fields.

But, of course, it is better to use official services, for example, Portmone, YandexMoney, Privat 24, etc. The activity of their use is now quite high, which gives confidence in their reliability. It is quite simple to register on the website, following the prompts.

How to cancel an App Store purchase

Don't worry: you can get your money back if you don't like the app you downloaded.

You can do this as follows:

• go to iTunse, click on the “Account” item;
• Next, open the “Purchase History” item, click “Report a problem”

How to remove purchases from the App Store and get your money back

• Then in the drop-down list, select the item that suits us, for example, “Purchase made by mistake.” After some time, a letter will arrive in the mail with big amount text about the rules for purchasing in the App Store. The money will be returned approximately within 10 days. We advise you not to joke with this method and not to use it often, as soon you will simply be refused a refund.
  Of course, some craftsmen manage to use this application after returning the money (if you haven’t deleted it, otherwise reinstallation will be paid). But we didn’t teach you this!

What are in-app purchases on the App Store?

A naive user believes that there can only be two types of purchases in the app store: paid and free. But no! There is also such a subtle marketing ploy as in-app purchases. This is, for example, when the creator of a game releases it free version, and already inside the game the addicted user is invited to purchase an extended version of the application. This offer to purchase additionally is an in-app purchase - paid, of course. You can make it according to the same scheme as a regular paid purchase.

The user is warned that the application contains in-app purchases by a phrase under the very name of the program in its description. If you scroll down the description below, you will see a list of in-app purchases with prices.

If you don't want to fall for the trick with in-app purchases, you can disable them.

How to disable in-app purchases in the App Store

It couldn't be easier to do this. Go to “Settings” – “General” – “Restrictions” – “Enable restrictions”. The system will require you to enter a password to enter and remove restrictions. This password must not be the same as the device password.

How to remove in-app purchases in the App Store

App Store Subscriptions

You probably think that the buying process always looks like this: come, see, pay (one-time) - and that’s it. But no. The App Store also has such a thing as a subscription. The logic is as follows: regardless of purchases, the user pays a certain amount once per period, and then downloads content on an all-inclusive basis. There are subscriptions to Apple Music (first 3 months free), iCloud music library (more than 5 GB free) and iTunes Match service, various newspapers, magazines, Internet services or built-in services in any applications.

You create any subscription yourself - while studying the terms of the subscription, of course. It can be one-time (for example, you subscribed for six months, paid, and after six months, if desired, you manually subscribed again) or automatically renewed (you paid for a certain period when registering a subscription, and after this period the system itself will automatically withdraw money from your account).

To do this, go to “Settings” – “iTunes Store and App Store”. Tap on your Apple ID, enter your password, then select “Subscriptions” - “Manage”.

How to cancel your App Store subscription

Select the subscription you need and change it (for example, expiration date) or remove renewal - and then after the current validity period expires, it will no longer be renewed, and you will not have to pay any more.

Managing your iCloud and iTunes Match subscriptions doesn't follow a cookie-cutter approach. Open accordingly:

• “Settings” – “iCloud” – “Storage” – “Change storage plan” or
• “Settings” – “Music” – “Subscribe to iTunes Match”

In general, the information obtained from this article should be enough for you to have a successful shopping experience in the App Store. And if you have any questions, you are welcome to comment, gg not without good people.

Hi all! You have to pay for everything :) Including games, applications, ringtones, in general, for all the content that you download to your iOS device. No, of course, download games and applications for free, take, for example, the same one. However, in my opinion, it is better to support the developer and purchase the program or game you like.

How does this usually happen? You link your plastic card to your Apple ID account and money for purchases is debited from it. What if you don’t have a credit card? Or do you just not want to “shine” your plastic? Apple has a solution! After all, there are alternative ways pay for a purchase in iTunes and the App Store without using bank card.

We will talk about them today - let's go!

iTunes Gift Card – buy games and applications without a credit card

Essentially, this is a regular card that can be purchased in many stores or ordered online. For example, in the Sberbank application, there is definitely such an opportunity. By the way, there is no great need for the card itself; you need a code that, as it were, replenishes your virtual balance in the App Store and iTunes. And money for purchases is already debited from him, and not from a plastic card.

Important! For a “physical purchase,” the code is not written on the Gift Card itself, but on the cash receipt. Don't lose it.
Disadvantages of this solution:

1. Fixed denomination - at least 500 rubles, then 1000 rubles, etc. It’s very inconvenient if you need to buy an application or game that costs 19 rubles. The rest will lie and wait in the wings.
2. You can't buy it everywhere.
3. In some places it is sold at a premium, which depends on the arrogance of the seller.

1. Can be used as a gift.
2. Some depersonalization of payments - no one asks for your data.

Payment in the App Store and iTunes from a mobile phone account

Now this is more interesting! Indeed, recently in Russia it has become possible to make purchases in the App Store and iTunes using your regular mobile account. On this moment, only Beeline provides such joy. But if you are a subscriber of another mobile operator, there is no need to be scared and change your service provider, because the SIM card does not have to be in the phone.

How to start paying for games and applications for iPhone and iPad from your Beeline number? You need to change your payment details for your account. Apple records ID (if you don’t have one, then).

That's all! You can safely start buying games and applications, without any credit cards or other misunderstandings :). Payment will be debited from the SIM card.

What is important to remember and know:

• The SIM card does not have to be in the iPhone or iPad.
• The starting balance can also be spent, that is, having bought a SIM card with balance, there is no need to immediately replenish it.
• There are no commissions!

Comfortable? In my opinion, very much so.

There are a lot of advantages of such a solution - this is the ability to top up with a fixed amount (exactly the amount needed for the purchase) and relative safety payments (there is no point in flashing a bank card), and ease of payment. In my opinion, there is only one minus - at the time of purchasing a game or application, this SIM card must still be installed in some device, since it receives an SMS with a confirmation code.

Updated! Since November 2016, Megafon subscribers also have the opportunity to pay for games and applications in the App Store using their SIM card balance. How to do it? Exactly the same as for Beeline. The instructions are a little higher :)

P.S. We give Beeline and Megafon a “plus” for such an excellent opportunity, the rest – “fail”. Do you agree? Click on the buttons social networks(below the article)!
