My partner and I were looking for an app to magnify prescriptions and misc. I looked through the listings and saw that MagnifyingGlassFlashlight included family share for up to six users. Perfect.
It’s actually a big fat lie. Up to an unlimited number of people can download this free version, not just six like they say. But it says In-app purchases cannot be shared. So when you upgrade via the in app purchase, your family members can’t get the full version. It’s a total ripoff and terribly dishonest.
And though you can buy the full version outright, with family members access and no in app purchases available, it does not show up under Other Apps by this developer. You have to search for it yourself.
Quite simply they are deceiving you, getting you to download the free version then not letting you share it
DO NOT UPGRADE MagnifyingGlassFlashlight IF YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH FAMILY MEMBERS. LOOK FOR THE FULL VERSION AND PURCHASE IT DIRECTLY OR YOU WILL GET BILLED TWICE.
This is really shameful behavior and Apple should intervene.
