Common mistakes

Common cancellation mistakes

Attempting to cancel in the app store but not in the account that actually billed you can leave the subscription active.

Example: You cancel via web but the Apple or Google Play subscription remains active and continues billing.

Refund and timing mistakes

Expecting an immediate refund after cancellation is a frequent error; refunds are discretionary and time-limited.

Example: Waiting beyond the 30-day window for technical refunds can reduce the chance of reversal.
