Yes, and last week I went back to the App Store and saw there was a slight
change in the In-App Purchase notice, so I thought they had fixed the issue.
I clicked to download the app and realized I had made full purchase when I

This is very sloppy of Apple and
Unless you are satisfied with the purchase, I'd go to the report a problem link
in the receipt and ask for a refund.
Then, when you can get a discounted gift card or it goes on sale again, you
could buy it through the in-app purchase.
They really should have made this clear from the get-go.
