How To: Get a refund for a Cydia jailbreak tweak

Cydia received an important update which makes it possibly to buy jailbreak tweaks that support iOS 9.3.3. Nevertheless, there’s one more noteworthy feature that makes it possible to get a refund for a Cydia jailbreak tweak.

This obviously lets users buy new tweaks with peace of mind, knowing they can get their money back should the tweak not work as intended or fail to meet their requirements.

It’s known as the ‘Self-Service Refund’ system and it lets you get a refund for a Cydia jailbreak tweak that you’ve bought within the past 24 hours. This eliminates the need of asking developers for a refund, which is extremely unreliable since not all of them reply to these requests.

Furthermore, this might also motivate developers to actively maintain their tweaks and keep their customers happy. So, if you will ever need to get a refund for a Cydia jailbreak tweak, here’s how it works:

Open Cydia and navigate to the description page of the tweak you want to receive a refund for. Select Modify and then Uninstall. Do the same for other devices where the tweak is installed.

At this point, the refunded money should be back in your PayPal account, but if you don’t see it right away, give it a few minutes.

While this is a reliable way to get instant refunds for tweaks that don’t work as advertised (or don’t do what you expected), you should be aware you won’t be able to re-purchase any of the ones for which you asked refunds, or at least not the same version.
