The iTunes App store sales policy clearly says that you cannot cancel a purchase or receive a refund for a purchase but they are known to make exceptions if you have a valid reason.
Step 1: Locate the email receipt for your iTunes Store purchase and click the “Report Problem” link next to the app that you would like to return.
If you have deleted the email invoice that Apple sent you after you completed the purchase, launch the iTunes program using this special link and you’ll see a list of all items that you’ve bought from the iTunes store. Open an order by clicking that little arrow next to the order date and then click “Report a problem” next to the app name.
If the above method fails, or if you don’t have iTunes on your computer, you can use this page to submit a refund request to Apple through any web browser.
Step 2: Click the Problem drop-down menu and choose an option that best describes your problem. If you have purchased an app accidentally, choose “I inadvertently purchased this application.”
You can expect a response from Apple in the next 24-48 hours. If the support rep is satisfied with your reasoning, he’ll probably reverse the charges.

We will review the refund request within 24 hours.

First of all, you will need to be signed in with the same iTunes account on both the devices you wish to sync.
You can set it up to automatically download apps from your one device to your other synced devices by using “Automatic Downloads” in the Settings section of your device. However, you will need to manually download the content within the app on your other devices, as it will not happen automatically. You will need to open the app on the device you have not yet downloaded the content from and download it again from the Store section of the app.
Free content in the app: If you have downloaded free content from an app on your one device, you will need to download the free content again from the Store section of the app on your second device. All downloaded content in your app will then move into the My Library section of the app.
Purchased content in the app: If you have purchased content in an app using your iTunes account, you do not need to purchase the content again on your other device, provided you are using the same iTunes account. For content that you purchase, when downloading that content on another device, you will need to use the "Restore Purchases" button under "My Account" in the Store section of the app. Once your purchases are restored, you can download content you have already purchased into the My Library section.
There is a limit to how many devices you can load your purchased content onto. This limit is set by the publisher of the book. Most of the time you can load your purchased content on to 5 devices, but some publishers have additional restrictions.
You can purchase either single issues or an subscription to a magazine or a newspaper in the app or through the webstore:
Purchasing a subscription through the app (This is currently available on iOS only):
Please note that all purchases made via iTunes are final.
Purchasing a subscription through the webstore:
Apple
Between 7 - 14 working days after submitting to the Apple Store. During this period our App Review Team checks every submission in order to protect consumer privacy, safeguard children from inappropriate content, and avoid applications that degrade the core experience of the iPad and iPhone.
Android
Within 1 day after submitting to the Google Play store.
If you want to view the subscriptions active on your iTunes account:
If you want to unsubscribe:
Your subscription will expire at the end of the current subscription period.
If you want to restore it, open the app, and click on ‘My Account’ and then ‘Subscribe’. Select the option to ‘Restore Subscription’ from the pop up menu. You won’t have to pay for the subscription again, this simply verifies the subscription from your account.
When you subscribe using an in-app subscription, you are entitled to all content in which the publication date falls between the start date and end date of your subscription period. You are also entitled to the most recently published content when you first subscribe. For example, if you sign up for a six-month subscription on December 12, the start date is December 12 and the end date is June 12.
After subscribing, you can download the most recently published content as well as any content in which the publication date is between December 12 and June 12. If you don’t renew the subscription, you are still entitled to those six months of content.
In order to fix this you will need to navigate to the store tab within your app and tap the Restore button that will automatically restore all your previously made purchases or subscriptions. You will then be able to download your content as usual and access it via your app's library.
