South Korea Forces Apple and Google to change app store refund policy

For South Koreans, getting refunds from Apple and Google for less-than-stellar apps just got a lot easier. The new law comes from the Korea Fair Trade Commission, which is stepping in to revise app store policies from Apple and Google.

The country’s anti-trust watchdog targeted app stores as a response to repeated requests made by the Citizen’s Coalition for Economic Justice. Last March, the commission ordered KT, SK Planet, LG Electronics and LG Uplus to change their webstore policies.
