Phone support is still offshore...and *awful*. Any conversation that starts with "I am here with you and with the email" and includes a suggestion that if I can't get the app from Apple I should just go to the Google Play store (!!!!) is a pretty clear indication of a company that has no interest in customer support, just profit.

You are right -- but I am pretty d*mn annoyed by the whole thing and not looking forward to another aggravating phone call to try and get my refund.

First Nook, now this -- it's like these folks got together and tried to find the surest ways they could to drive their customers to Amazon instead...
