I can't tell for sure if an app is free or paid. When all it says is "get it" with no cost shown does that mean it is free? I just downloaded an app and don't want to open it until I know, which brings up another question. If you mistakenly download an app that you think is free can you refuse it somehow? Is there a surefire way to know if it is free or a paid app? Thanks!
iPad Air, iOS 10.2.1
If it just says Get It, it is free. Otherwise it would have a price next to it. I have never been charged for an app that did not have a price.
If you accidentally buy an app that isn't free, you may, once, be able to get a refund:
Please note that I said "may". Apple doesn't have to give you a refund but, if you accidentally purchase that $29.99 app, it's worth asking for an exception.
Best of luck.
Thanks! I have to get over the habit of jumping in before having all the information. I'm pretty sure I only downloaded ones that just said "get it", but if not I only have myself to blame! I really appreciate the answer. Have a great day!

elcpu is correct. And, it is not opening the app that causes a charge to made. It's downloading it. So, if you've already downloaded it and it wasn't free, you might as well open it because you've already paid for it.
You are welcome... 🙂
Thanks! And I would be the one to make that mistake! Hopefully the great hints I am getting here will get me started on the right path! Blessing!
Thank you so much! That's a huge relief. Blessings!
