Know when the App Store charges
Tell a free app from one that is about to take money.
In the App Store, a Get button costs nothing. A button showing a price charges that amount, once.
Nothing is taken until you confirm with your face or your passcode, and the sum is on the screen.
Key points
- Get is free; figures on the button are the price
- Nothing is charged until you confirm, and Cancel stops it
What to remember
- Cancel is a real stop, and it takes nothing.
- Get is free. In-App Purchases means it sells things later.
Try this
Open the App Store on your own iPhone. Look at one app page and read the button.
