I guess this is not well known, but in practice it's possible to get a refund on any iOS/Mac app purchased from the App Store simply by writing App Store support and asking for one.

There's even a more direct option using iTunes or on the web: http://www.imore.com/how-to-get-refund-itunes-app-store

It worked on a dodgy TV tracking app I got.

Right. And there's no time limit as far as I know.

Actually there is, three months from the date of purchase.

Apple "report a problem website" states it at login : "To report a problem with iTunes, iBooks Store, iOS, or Mac App Store purchases made in the last 90 days, sign in with your Apple ID. For help with older purchases, contact iTunes Store Support."

So I guess there's no limit with contacting support option as you said.
