Yeah, this happened to tapatalk for me. I emailed tapatalks creators and was greeted with sorry about your problem but it's googles problem now and to contact them. So I uninstalled the app and was greeted with only the free version to DL. I emailed google with my purchase receipt and was told sorry about your luck...but we are looking into it. Been two weeks now and I ain't heard squat.
And google wonders WHY people are squeemish to buy apps. When you have a problem like mine and you take all the correct steps to rectify the situation and pretty much told to suck an egg, makes you wonder why you spend your hard earned money....I know...it's only 2.99...but If I want to access my content again, I'll have to shell out another 2.99....so that makes 6 bucks now for a 2.99 app, or wait for Google to right this wrong....which could be another week or two. Unacceptable.
