In-app purchases are the work of the devil and should be frowned upon.
We need people to start owning up for their own mistakes. The password was put in by an adult, he's responsible for that purchase.
This is my kids will use handhelds and consoles for their games. Won't have to worry about this crap.
So all of us using this and know what we are doing have to enable it just because some people are to lazy to know the product they get before handing it over to a 5 year-old kid?
The iPhone and iPad is not meant for 5 years old, sure there is apps for them but i will say that a 5 year-old kid using an iPad should be under supervision of an adult.
Dont make it harder for the people there have a iphone or ipad for personal use, just because a family dad do not know better
Why is it bad? I got hit when I grew up and I have a solid respect for authority. The greatest generation from the 40's got hit when they grew up and my grandparents are/were wonderful people.
I think most of the disrespectful thugs running around in the streets are products of hands off parenting.
Something is wrong with society if a 5-year-old child is able to spend $2500 in a few minutes.
In-app purchases are the one single worst thing to happen to iOS. That's why we have those ****ing freemium games and apps. Jesus ...
This is not Apple's fault. Its a bit "cheeky" of the developer to put a £69.99 IAP in a Children's app but, ultimately, its the parents' fault. Parental Controls DO exist (and are not hard to find) and, technically, that app was aged 9 and upwards. So only the parents have themselves to blame.
