As my two little youngsters are using iPads at school, I decided to get them one to use at home.
There was a few apps that I purchased for them that the school uses, and these were only a few quid. Allowed them to download other FREE apps to play on too. Password was set for any app download, so they couldn't do it willy nilly. (or so I thought)
Any ways I checked my bank today and it seemed I was a bit short!! Having looked further into it, the kids have had over 300 quid out of me on bloody apps. Looking at each individual statement, these are in app purchases, something I didn't know any thing about. These were big amounts too 34 quids here and there.
I looked further into the settings and it seems there is an option to turn this off, under the restrictions. Also if you put your password in to download an app (free or paid) it looks like the default setting is to keep the password session active for 15 mins. I've changed this to immediately now.
I've messages iTunes to see if there is any thing that I can do to claim some money bk will keep you posted.
