ay already had a leg up on Apple’s “l sales are final” App Store by letting you return paid Android apps within 15 minutes of purchase get your money back. Now, is upping its game by extending the refund time limit for apps to two full hours. Rejoice!
App refunds on ay were actually upped to two hours earlier in August. But wasn’t advertising the fact, the company’s support pages remained committed to the 15-minute limit. Recently, however, updated its support pages for ay making the two-hour refund window “officially official,” as Android lice—the site that first uncovered the change—put it.
Obtaining a refund on ay is ridiculously easy. After you’ve purchased an app on your phone, you’ll see a refund button on the app’s page in ay. st tap that button you’ll have your money back in no time (not counting any potential credit card processing time).
Two hours is a long time to mull over a purchase should be a boon to users who tend to regret their ay purchases—as long as you remember that refunds are an option, that is. Forgetful types would do well to set a reminder in Now to go off 10 minutes before the refund window closes.
This is actually the second big change for Android app returns. In 2010, back in the days of the Android et, drastically shrunk the return window from 24 hours to 15 minutes.
So while the new app return window is much larger than it was, it still isn’t truly as good as Android’s old school days.(Ah, memories.) That said, two hours is still a healthy chunk of time to evaluate a smartphone app.
