I wish Apple would crack down on this. Especially annoying are the games that let you pay to remove ads but then force you to watch a video ad (or buy real money gems) to get another play. So I paid to remove ads but I still get ads. And all of these in app purchases and ads are a really frustrating experience for games that would otherwise be fun. Not to mention they've all effectively turned into pay to play with a slot machine like experience.

The ads and IAP are annoying but Apple does have a way to get a refund for this kind of ‘purchases’:

I agree that it would be nice for Apple to clean up this type of transaction, but I've never found that a game containing them was particularly fun to play.
