Why the Hell does the App Store's Top Charts have paid apps in the 'free' column. Half-asleep this morning I downloaded the Transport Empire app from it, thinking it was free, and without noticing that it was actually £4 to buy. Checking my account I noticed that it's been debited for the app.

Grrrrrr.

Yes, I should have paid more attention, but this practice appears to be deliberately misleading. Now I can't even find where to complain on the Apple site.

Double Grrrrrr!
 
You can contact Apple through the support site or through the Report a Problem thing (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933?viewlocale=en_GB).

Must say that I've never seen this happen, and after a quick Google, do you mean Transport Tycoon? I've never heard of it before but from what I can see there are two versions, Lite and full. Are you sure you didn't accidentally select the full version after clicking the Lite version?
