[–] ncr100 4y ago ↗ Anyone who works for Apple, reading this, should pass this to the App Store team to review.E.g. (from https://github.com/avast/ioc/blob/master/Fleeceware/Fleecewa...)- https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bass-booster-volume-power-amp/...- Store text erroneously claims "$40.99" for yearly charge ... to "boost bass" ... yeah right.- Actual IAP for yearly is two IAP: one $59.99, the other $75.99Clearly intending to defraud customers.
