At Timeleft, we strive to make your experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible. However, when it comes to refunds for payments made through app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play), these platforms have strict policies and limitations that prevent us from processing refunds directly.
This article explains why this is the case and guides you through requesting a refund directly from Apple or Google if necessary.
Why Can’t Timeleft Issue Refunds for App Store Payments?
When you purchase through an app store, such as Apple’s App Store or Google Play, the transaction is handled directly by the respective platform. This includes billing, payment processing, and refund management.
Apple App Store
Apple’s strict policies do not allow developers, including Timeleft, to issue refunds for purchases made via the App Store. All refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple for their review and approval.

Google Play
In rare cases, Google allows developers to issue refunds for purchases. However, these circumstances are limited and subject to Google’s specific policies. In most cases, refund requests must be made directly to Google Play.

How to Request a Refund
For Apple App Store Purchases
To request a refund for a purchase made through the Apple App Store:
- Visit Apple’s Report a Problem page.
- Sign in with your Apple ID.
- Find the purchase in question and select “Request a Refund.”
- Follow the prompts to submit your request.
Apple’s support team will review your request and notify you of their decision.
For Google Play Purchases
To request a refund for a purchase made through Google Play:
- Visit Google Play’s Refund Request Form.
- Fill out the form with the required details about your purchase.
- Submit the form for review.
Google will evaluate your request and let you know the outcome.
Why Are These Policies in Place?
App store platforms like Apple and Google process transactions on behalf of developers to ensure security and streamline user experiences. However, this also means they retain control over refunds and other payment-related issues. Unfortunately, developers like Timeleft have no way to override these processes.
