Goodies? Do you mean the 'gems'? I don't know but I told i tunes that there were 1868 gems left in the account and we obviously did not want them but they didn't mention them when they responded. However it makes no odds that they are still there as she has not been allowed to play on the game since and will not be able to in the future so the 'useless' gems are pointless anyway....they can only 'buy' items for a virtual island anyway :cool: absolutely pointless and it blows my mind that anyone would pay that kind of money willingly to play at building a virtual island or whatever it is :eek:

1) Buy loads of gems etc. in-game
2) Bell Apple - "The wain's being using my iPad, I didn't know, it's all too awful"
3) iTunes refund

Oh I see...you're a cynical person...well I doubt people actually do this but I can assure you we are not one of them..the 'gems' are still sitting there and will not be used by our daughter and certainly not by us as we are not really into 'games' anyway...

the game is freee to play anyway, only pay for the gems to make increase your progression in the game quicker. problem is that this game and many others like it, have the buttons all cartoony like the game with the big picture of the gems in the button another large number you will buy then in very small the actual charge which is in $ not £ which some children wouldnt recognise or associate that with real money.
