There’s no download for apps I purchased...

Why do a lot of the video editing apps I bought over the years not exist for download anymore ? I have an older phone I still use for photo and video which is bs in my “purchased” opinion because I supposedly paid for them, that or the original versions I paid for are now subscription updates which is even more bs considering those of us that purchased those apps help launch them successfully. I feel scammed because I wasn’t informed that my app purchases would be a temporary thing.

Hi,


Sorry to hear you are having issues with previously purchased content. This would be considered expected behavior if you did not have your purchases backed up.


The following resource should be able to clarify further:



“Purchased Content will generally remain available for you to download, redownload, or otherwise access from Apple. Though it is unlikely, subsequent to your purchase, Content may be removed from the Services (for instance, because the provider removed it) and become unavailable for further download or access from Apple. To ensure your ability to continue enjoying Content, we encourage you to download all purchased Content to a device in your possession and to back it up.”
