Well, that was a complete waste of time. I requested a refund or credit for Dash as I paid $29 for it.

Chat and Phone T1 and T2 Advisors all said there is nothing they can do and kept suggesting I restore a backup. Too bad "Transfer Purchases" was removed in iOS 9 with App Slimming - meaning that there is no way to backup/extract an ipk file from iOS using native tools. They also couldn't offer any sort of iTunes Store credit or refund.

Long story short, if Apple decides to remove an App from their platform, it's gone - period and they don't give a sh*t how much you paid for it.
