Very Deceptive feature list for Pro - still requires in-app purchases! – iBird Pro Guide to Birds Review

I bought the Pro version (rather than Ultimate) as the App Store description seems to clearly state that it now includes the Owls of Mexico, Time of Day, and Birds Around Me features. Only after buying and opening the app did I discover that Pro does NOT come with these features, and that they are in-app purchases! Even if you buy the “combined bundle” of these features in-app, it costs more than the Ultimate version. Why not clearly state what comes/does not come with each product up front, so customers can make proper buying decisions? I would have gladly bought the Ultimate Bundle today had I known this. But now I’m left with a sub-standard Pro version with no way to upgrade it to the bundle— all because of your very dumb and deceptive App Store descriptions! Not a great first impression MWG! Not good at all! UPDATE - After reading the Developer’s reply (which thankfully, clearly documents what comes/does not come with each app) and emailing their Support team, they advised that Pro with the in-app purchases would be the best (and only) way to go for the immediate future. They have no control over Apple refunds/exchanges. I’ve now done that and the app now has the same features as Ultimate at the same price. I am upgrading my rating slightly as the app itself is indeed the best birding app out there, but can’t quite give them a full 5 stars until they update their product descriptions to clearly reflect the pricing & features.
