Restoring a purchase should recover the access associated with a supported store purchase. It does not, by itself, prove that an application can recover your documents, identify the correct workspace or merge two accounts safely. Evaluate those outcomes separately before relying on an app for important work.
The RevenueCat catalogue, observed on October 3, 2026, includes Make Resume, an iPhone resume builder with templates and PDF export. Its listing declares RevenueCat and describes optional premium features. That declaration is a research starting point; it does not reveal the app's account-transfer policy or establish that its restoration flow has been tested here.
Draw the identities before testing
A store account, an application account and a document owner can represent different identities. Write down which one the app uses for payment recognition and which one controls saved content. A receipt is evidence about a purchase, not automatic permission to read every document on a device.
Ask what happens when someone changes phones, reinstalls the app or signs into a different application account while keeping the same store account. If the product has no application login, ask where documents are saved and what backup options exist.
Record these answers before trying a recovery scenario. Otherwise, a successful premium unlock can distract from missing work, or a missing local document can be incorrectly reported as a payment failure.
Make restoration an explicit user action
RevenueCat documents restoration as a user-triggered operation that can involve store sign-in prompts. Its behaviour when purchases belong to another app user depends on the configured transfer policy. Do not infer that policy from the presence of a Restore button.
Use a provider-supported sandbox and disposable accounts for an implementation review. Record the store account, app user, expected entitlement and expected document visibility. Do not make unnecessary real purchases to discover how account transfer works.
A useful interface explains whether it found a supported purchase, restored access or needs a different account. It should not display a generic success message when the requested premium capability remains unavailable.
Check the document boundary separately
For a resume workflow, create a fictional document with a recognizable title and no personal employment history. Export a copy using the app's documented controls before any reinstall test. Confirm whether the backup is an editable source, a finished PDF or both.
After restoring premium access, inspect the fictional document independently. Was it restored through account synchronization, imported from a backup or never stored remotely? Each outcome implies a different recovery promise.
If the app offers multiple resumes, include two documents in the scenario. Recovering the most recently opened item does not demonstrate that the entire collection survived.
Give support a reproducible case
Keep a short record of app version, device, account transitions and expected capability. Share redacted purchase references through the provider's support channel, avoiding full receipts or personal documents in public issue reports.
The final result should describe access restoration and content recovery as two separate findings. For the related developer-side question, read the RevenueCat entitlement mapping review. Together, these checks connect the commercial promise to a recoverable product experience.
