Big Fish Games no purchase found

I have purchased a number of games from Big Fish thru the App Store and downloaded them on my IPad it shows in my purchase history in the App Store but when I go to play them again months later the game says no purchase history found yet I see it in my history in the App Store. This seems to be recent since I played some of these games within the last 6 months.



iPad, iPadOS 16

Same issue. Games I know I purchased say that No Purchases is Found for this Account. Some I have only played once. Apple needs to get this resolved. Yes, it is a Big Fish Game, but I purchased these games from Apple.

Hi MCFFan66,


From what you've shared the best steps to take for your issue can be found in the following article: If there's an issue when you redownload apps, movies, or other content from Apple - Apple Support


Specifically, review the following.


If you don't see the item that you want to redownload
* Make sure that the item is in your purchase history for your Apple ID. If you don't see the item in your purchase history, you might have purchased the item with a different Apple ID.
* If you don't see an app that you want to redownload, that app might not be compatible with your device. For example, an app that you bought for your Mac might not also work on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
* If you don't see items in your purchase history on other Apple IDs, the purchases might be hidden. Learn how to redownload hidden apps or unhide music, movies, TV shows, books and audiobooks.
* Do you want to redownload an app or other content that a family member purchased? If you have Family Sharing, you can download shared purchases.


Best regards.

Good afternoon MCFFan66,


Did you try to delete the app and then redownload it? Make sure you have a backup of your iPhone before performing these troubleshooting steps.

Glad I’m not the only one. Apple and big fish are no help. Big fish have me things to try which didn’t work so sent me to apple. Apple said they can’t do anything. I can see the invoices showing I’ve paid for apps and it’s telling me no purchase found. Funny because a couple of them work but most don’t. So annoying because I really enjoy the games and have been playing them for years!

Big fish games on iPad and iPhone will no longer work IF… they are under IOS10 and under 32 bit games. So all your older games will now say something like no account found, or just won’t download. If u want to buy a new game make sure it is for IOS 10 and above and make sure it is not a 32 but game. I hope this helps. This is an apple decision not big fish. I suggest playing in the computer or laptop which has nothing to do with Apple.
