Cancel Codespark: Step-by-Step Guide
What is Codespark
Overview
CodeSpark is a subscription-based educational platform that teaches young children coding concepts through games and interactive challenges.
It is available on iOS, Android and via direct web subscriptions and often uses auto-renewing plans for ongoing access.
Who it is for
CodeSpark is aimed at children and parents seeking an introductory, screen-based coding education with multiple child profiles and age-appropriate content.
Plans include monthly, annual and gift/lifetime options; features and billing vary by platform and region.
How to cancel Codespark
Cancel via App Store (iOS)
- Open Settings on your iPhone/iPad, tap your name, then select Subscriptions.
- Find the CodeSpark subscription and choose Cancel Subscription to stop automatic renewals.
- Note: App Store purchases are final and Apple handles refunds; CodeSpark states sale is final.
Cancel via Google Play (Android)
- Open the Google Play app, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Select CodeSpark and tap Cancel subscription to stop future charges.
- If the cancel button is missing, contact CodeSpark support and provide your Google Play order ID for manual cancellation.
Cancel via Web / Direct purchase
- Log in to your CodeSpark account on the website and go to your account or subscriptions page.
- Follow the cancellation prompts; cancellations should be made at least 30 days before renewal to avoid billing.
- Web purchases are managed by CodeSpark directly; no partial-period refunds are provided after billing occurs.
Help & support
- If in doubt, gather your purchase receipt or order ID before contacting support.
- Visit CodeSpark for the official help resources and contact options.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, you normally retain access until the end of the current paid period.
Access does not continue beyond the paid period unless you resubscribe or have another active plan.
Renewal and billing
Cancelling stops automatic renewals; you will not be billed again after the current period ends.
For web subscriptions you must cancel at least 30 days before the next renewal to avoid the next charge.
Account and data
Your account, profiles and progress typically remain on CodeSpark servers after cancellation unless you request deletion.
Contact support if you want account data removed or exported; retention policies may vary.
Will I get a refund?
Platform-specific refund rules
- App Store (iOS): CodeSpark indicates App Store purchases are final and refunds are not offered by the developer.
- Google Play (Android): Refunds are possible only within 2 hours of purchase via your Google Play order history.
- Web/direct purchases: No refunds for partial subscription periods or after the next billing has occurred.
Exceptions and timelines
If you believe an unauthorised charge occurred, raise the issue quickly with the platform (Apple or Google) and with CodeSpark support.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Cooling-off rules
Under New Zealand distance-selling rules, consumers generally have a cooling-off period (10 days or 5 working days, whichever is longer) to cancel online contracts.
Deposits are refundable during this period unless a clear exclusion was provided at sale.
How this affects CodeSpark purchases
Subscription services that provide immediate digital access may rely on 'no refund' policies, but those policies must be clearly disclosed at point of sale.
If you believe disclosure was inadequate, consider raising a dispute with CodeSpark and referencing New Zealand distance-selling rules and the Fair Trading Act.
See the DSANZ Code for more detail: DSANZ Code.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many parents report children enjoy CodeSpark and find the material engaging for young learners.
Reviews note suitability for multiple ages and enjoyment of coding challenges and game creation.
Negative feedback
There are multiple Trustpilot complaints about difficulty cancelling and disputes over renewals and refunds.
Some users reported being charged after attempting cancellation and difficulties obtaining refunds, particularly when purchases involved Apple or Google billing.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Purchase receipt or order confirmation (App Store, Google Play or web).
- Account email and subscription details (plan type, renewal date).
- Google Play order ID if cancelling on Android and the button is missing.
After you cancel
- Save confirmation of cancellation or screenshots of subscription status.
- Record the date access will end and keep any correspondence with CodeSpark or platform support.
Common mistakes
Using the wrong cancellation method
Example: Trying to cancel a subscription billed by Apple through CodeSpark's website will not stop App Store renewals.
Always cancel through the platform that processed the payment (Apple, Google Play, or CodeSpark web).
Missing timing windows and receipts
Example: Waiting past the 2-hour Google Play refund window or the 30-day web cancellation window can forfeit refund chances.
Failing to keep receipts or order IDs makes disputes slower and harder to resolve.
