Getting App Back:

Do you see this app in the App Store? If not, then, you’re just not going to get it back. Sometimes, apps are removed from the App Store, and they are never accessible again. It all comes down to licensing agreements between Apple and the Developer.

Paid app deleted while software update but afterwards not return back: […]When I click, It provides two options Keep or Delete. It says App is no longer available on the App Store. You're right. So I have lost my subscription.

Excellent job troubleshooting this!


Loss of data and other purchases is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account —Something many don’t realize when they go about signing up for an Apple Account (because the Terms & Conditions aren’t read).
