What you need to know when making in-app purchases
Have you ever wondered why can’t manage your account on many popular apps, or why subscriptions and fees are greater while purchasing through an app than on the website? One reason -- The “App Tax.”
Rick VanMeter of the Coalition for App Fairness appeared on KPRC 2+ Thursday to share more about this tax.
For his insights, watch the interview in the video player at the top of the page.
The Coalition for App Fairness is an independent nonprofit organization formed to protect consumer choice, foster competition, and create a level playing field for app and game developers
