The other day I restored my phone and I tried to redownload this app I bought in 2011, instead of showing the "cloud" icon I got the price icon instead, which indicates that I haven't bought the app. I checked the version history to see if the app was removed from the App Store previously but it doesn't seem to be the case.
I found the receipt for the app and emailed Apple about it. They emailed me back saying that since the app has been removed or modified, I can't download it anymore and they basically told me to purchase the app again or contact the developer.
Strangely enough, the app still appears on my "Purchases" list, the latest version too even.
Has this ever happened to anyone? I tried to search in this forum for a similar experience but there doesn't seem to be one. The app didn't cost me much, but it just seems rather peculiar so I'm quite curious.
