If you do one good Nerd Thing this week, make it tapping the 'I Don't Need a Refund' button in Tweetbot and Twitterrific.

These apps, in many ways, pioneered the modern concept of quality, indie app for iPhone. They gave us much more than they ever asked for with their subscriptions.

A Final Update to Tweetbot and Twitterrific That Allows Users to Support Tapbots and The Iconfactory

Usually, when a big company shuts down an API, they give customers time to prepare. It’s the right thing to do regardless of what any terms of service say. That’s not how things went down with Twitter. Instead, as I wrote in January, Twitter eliminated access to its API for many third-party apps, including Tweetbot

Loved Tweetbot and have opted out of the refund. I hope both these companies are able to ride out this challenging time.

But I have the same question as @mjtsai: how does this user action help avoid the refund? Does clicking on that “I don’t want a refund” button let Apple know not to process the refund for that app?
