I appreciate your reply, and understand MU's reasoning; however, it makes it a bit more difficult to find the MU page for a now-defunct, but potentially useful app. A suggestion would be to have the regular search and then a "comprehensive" search that would include all apps. Maybe just some additional special character -- an asterisk or whatever in the search window would get one the latter search.

I emailed the developer and unfortunately it has indeed been discontinued.

Update: Jumper is back on the app store and is free until Dec 31st. Funny, after installing this new version (which is working under Lion btw) my original purchase from August now shows up again under my app store purchases. I have some concerns over how and why an app I purchased disappeared in the first place though. Does not give me very much confidence in the app store.

So, this appears to be the procedure: http://www.40tech.com/2011/01/31/how-to-get-a-refund-from-the-ios-or-mac-app-stores/ When you report a problem via the iTunes store, the options they give you are as follows: 1. I didn't receive this item 2. I inadvertently purchased this item 3. This item does not function as expected 4. I already own this item 5. This item was labeled incorrectly 6. My concern isn't listed here (with box to explain) Odd, but nowhere do I see the option of "I was not happy with the application." As if that explanation is going to fly in the first place. So, I either lie or hope Apple will accept my rationale of unhappiness. And since all of the articles I found that describe this "simple" process caution us not to abuse this process - and I'm unclear as to how many requests constitute an "abuse" - it's conceivable that I cannot really "demo" very many of these pay-up-front products before Apple won't let me do so anymore and will stop issuing refunds. And then, if I do get lucky, I get to wait at least a week before Apple even decides, and then I get to wait even longer before a refund shows up in my bank account. In the meantime, as I await the coveted "unhappiness refund," I no longer have access to the money that I might have spent on a competing product that did allow a trial version and that might have satisfied what I was looking for. And this is the new form of "demo" for an app? Buyer beware. Be very aware. Thanks, but no thanks.
