And to make matters worse if you uninstall the game you also lose your purchase of the in app method of opening the game up.

It means if you make the purchase to open up the game and then if you delete your install in order to try to cure the sound issue that you'll have to make the purchase again.

Tell you what, I'll delete my app, install it and login, if I now have to pay again then so be it, if I don't then you take a photo with a loaf of bread on your head and post it.

Do what you want, I'm merely reporting my disappointing experience.

The game itself is great, very enjoyable but I won't be repurchasing the content.

Of course I have my receipt email from Apple as you obviously don't believe that Apple could ever sell any product which has a fault contained within it - not that I need to prove anything to you, so run along Troll.

I know you don't want my help but if you sign in you will get your paid content back.

Agree with jack cannonfooder. Once you've downloaded it you don't need to pay for it again. Go into AppStore and click on the purchases button and it will be in there for download without paying for it.

The in app purchase isn't there I can assure you both, if you'd both like to try and download the game on a fresh device then you won't get your paid content given to you again.

Exhibit 1, the locked game screen.




Exhibit 2, my iTunes apps screen.




I'm not arguing for the sake of it, my paid content isn't available to me.

Very strange because I've just gone straight into it.

1. AppStore
2. Updates
3. Purchases

As have I, but no purchase shown despite the unlock working (and the receipt email received as well) until I carried out a fresh install, I've reported it to Apple but I'm not really hopeful about it getting sorted.

And I hope they get the sound issue sorted as well.

Check to see if they took the money.

I've just checked my bank account and it's in my pending transactions so yes they've taken that payment.

Thanks for that.

It works but it's just a shame that they don't make it easier or more obvious what the solution is.

Yup, restore purchases should be mandatory.

It's quite difficult and thankfully not too addictive.

True that, but I was around when the arcade Super Mario was new, I could finish that.
