Android is and open source Operating System and has countless apps which keeps on increasing with each passing day. The reason behind this is that Android is an OS where any application developer is free to develop their own apps and put it in Play Store to share with other Android users. Many developers take advantage of this policy and create fake apps with attractive names and fool millions of people all around the world. In order to get information about such apps and give value to customers of google play store Google Money Back Policy is offered.
Unlike Apple's policy , Google focus on a valuable relationship with their customers and always give them worth for money. Apple doesn't offer any money back policy , if you purchase any paid app from i-store you can not get your money back regardless of whether you like that app or not. But google offers you a chance to get your money back for certain reasons like : If you have downloaded some app accidentally or if app is fake , App is not working properly , App doesn't meet functions that it promises etc.
To get your money back , all you have to contact google within 15 minutes after downloading that app. Although there are some debates going on that 15 minutes is a short period and it should be extended to some extent but there is no clue that google has considered any request about increasing time for refund.
