iceGear Instruments

I am an independent developer based in Japan. iceGear is a one-man company that creates audio plug-ins (effects and synthesizers), focusing on the joy of “twisting knobs to create your own sound.” I do not design my synthesizers and effects as tools for musicians to quickly make music. Instead, I focus on the technical side of sound creation, with the aim of allowing people to enjoy the process of shaping sounds itself. This is the philosophy behind all of my plug-ins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Refund Requests

For refunds, please contact Apple Support by using Apple’s official refund request system. https://support.apple.com/HT204084

I do not have any authority to access or manage the App Store's refund system. Even if you contact me about a refund, I will not be able to take any action.

Re-downloading Purchased Products (Including Discontinued Items)

If you have purchased the product, you can download it again from the App Store. For detailed instructions, please refer to Apple’s support page: https://support.apple.com/HT211841

The App Store may display an app that should have been purchased as if it has not been purchased.

The App Store may not display your purchase if you install the app on a different device than originally used for purchase. (For example, when you purchase an app on an iPad and then install it on a Mac.)

However, provided you use the same Apple ID, you can reinstall the app at no additional cost—even on a different device.

If you continue with the purchase process, the App Store should eventually confirm that you have made the purchase and you should be able to download the app for free, even if it appears as if it has not been purchased.

If you have further questions or concerns, I encourage you to contact Apple Support. https://support.apple.com/apps

Temporary Suspension of Support
