There seems to be an issue with the download. After purchasing it redirects to a download page but when clicking on download nothing happens. Other users on Reddit are reporting this too. Hope it gets fixed or refunded.

I had the same problem. I had to long press the download button and open in a new tab for it to do anything. It then showed the popup saying I needed to allow installation of the app in the settings before long-pressing download again.

  I'm trying right now from Spain, using an iPhone SE with iOS 17.4.1 and faced the following problems: - I used Firefox, which can't be used for this. OK, I go to Safari. - In Safari, I tap the "Download" button and get a message indicating that I can't install because my settings. I only see two options "OK" and "More information", but no details about "which" setting I need to change. - In the "More information" page, I only read a wall of text that doesn't explain what the fxxx I need to do to in order to perform the install. - No matter how I try, there's no results in the settings search for "external", "install" or "market". - Oh, and the "Download" button no longer works after pressing it 2 or 3 times. I suppose this is to "protect me" from evil scammers, of course. Dark patterns galore.

Same issue here on an iPhone SE. Also tried on an iPad, where I got a pop up “you can only install this marketplace on an iPhone”, which is disappointing.

Apple claim that the iOS App Store is a separate entity to the iPadOS App Store, and thus, doesn’t qualify as a gatekeeper under the EU DMA. Apple have made alternative app stores only available to iPhones running iOS 17.4+. Apple may benefit from you registering your disappointment with them directly, so that they can stop bragging about their immense customer satisfaction percentages in future product launches.

    What a joke… Apple is so obviously abusing everything they can to avoid complying to the spirit of the law. That makes it so clear they in a dominant position here.
