    There are several Playrix games of the Fishdom variety - all basically the same, but with different themes... Still a pretty good match 3, and it is fun to max out the aquarium...

    Even though it says it's the "Premium" version, and that the price went from $4.99 to free, there is a Buy button. When you click it, it says it's $4.99 to unlock the game. Has anyone else experienced this?

    That doesn't seem free to me...

    They did the same thing with the Halloween one too, where it said premium and you still had to pay.

    It works. You have to install it and enter the game without wifi/mobile data on for the very first time.

    Turn on Airplane mode on your iPad. Then open the app for the first time.

    I took no chances. I deleted the app from my iPad, turned on Airplane mode, and downloaded the app from my computer. Then, with Airplane mode still on, I played a few rounds and closed the app. Then I disabled Airplane mode (which re-enables your Wi-fi), reopened the app, and the Buy banner was gone.

    Sorry for the ridiculously long explanation, but I hope that helps. :)

    Thanks - that worked, and looks like it worked for 4 Elements too.

    Actually I meant 4 Elements HD (Full). It had gone free back in Aug (it's back at $4.99) and I had downloaded it then, but still showed the IAP requirement until I did what you suggested above for that game as well. Thanks!

    They supposedly fixed 4 Elements around September, I believe.
    A while later, I downloaded the update and it did not work, but I had read somewhere that it needed to be deleted and downloaded again.

    I tried that and it worked fine. I lost all my progress, obviously, via deleting. They did fix the 4 element issue, though. It just took a while.

    I have seen this several times now with Playrix. It seems they put out free apps, that need to be fixed to actually be free. I am glad in this case the airplane mode technique seems to have worked for me as well.

    I can understand a mistake happening on occasion, but this has happened to me three times with their games now.

    I am a huge fan of their Royal Envoy game and many of their games, but I am frustrated by the above aspects of their business.
