There have been a rash of devs that are doing this, charging $1 for an app then once installed it will freeze on a "downloading extra content" screen trying to get people to wait longer than the 15 min window to avoid the refund. Nasty little trick.
Generally if you are looking at a game you know is an iOS hit or from another console it would be a good thing to google it to see if the dev is actually making the game for android before purchasing it, sure it takes a few mins and $1 may not be that big of a loss to you but why reward scam artists?
