What happens when you cancel
Access after cancelling
If you cancel a paid subscription, you typically retain access until the current billing period ends. The service does not usually stop immediately unless the store enforces it.
Auto‑renewal and stopping charges
All LingQ subscriptions are set to auto‑renew. You must cancel through the store or web account where you purchased to stop future charges.
Data and account status
After downgrading to Free, your account remains but paid features are removed. Your learning data generally remains in your account unless you delete it.
Will I get a refund?
App Store (Apple) purchases
- LingQ cannot directly process App Store refunds; you must request a refund via Apple.
- Refund timing varies: store credit may appear within about 48 hours in some cases; mobile billing windows vary.
- See refund guidance: Requesting refunds (App Store).
Google Play or Ling website purchases
- If you purchased via Google Play or directly on LingQ's website, you can request a full refund from LingQ support within 30 days of payment.
- Google Play processing times vary; web refunds from LingQ usually take about 5 - 10 business days.

Terms, guarantees and exceptions
- Web purchases include a 30‑day satisfaction guarantee for a full refund if unsatisfied; after 30 days the Terms of Service typically disallow refunds or credits for partial months.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Statutory guarantees
New Zealand consumers are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act, which requires services to be provided with reasonable care and skill.
If a digital service is not delivered as promised you may have remedies under NZ law even if the terms try to limit rights.
Refund windows and cooling‑off
There is no general 14‑day cooling‑off right for digital subscriptions in NZ unless it was sold under door‑to‑door or direct marketing rules.
LingQ’s 30‑day satisfaction guarantee and refund policies go beyond default NZ guarantees, but statutory rights may still apply for defective or misrepresented services.
When to escalate
- If LingQ declines a reasonable refund for a defective service, you can raise the issue with NZ consumer protection or seek dispute resolution.
- Retain receipts, screenshots and communication records to support a claim.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Some users report strong vocabulary growth and faster progress compared with other apps.
- Users have praised sentence‑level review methods and overall effectiveness for certain language levels.
Negative feedback
- Complaints include poor AI translations for some languages, unsatisfactory technical support responses, and UI issues.
- Some users describe a cumbersome cancellation experience or problems with email login and customer communication.
Sources and community reports
Reviews and reports are available on consumer sites and forums for more context.
Examples: Trustpilot NZ and community threads on Reddit.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before you contact support
- Account email and username used for LingQ.
- Purchase receipt or bank statement showing the charge.
- Date of purchase and billing period details.
- Which store you used to subscribe (App Store, Google Play or LingQ website).
Useful extras
- Screenshots of subscription pages and the subscription entry in the App Store/Google Play.
- Copy of any error messages or technical problem logs (for refund claims under the Money Back Guarantee).
- Notes of any steps you were asked to take (some users report needing to remove imported lessons or change settings before cancellation) - keep records if applicable.
Common mistakes
Thinking uninstall cancels
Many users uninstall the mobile app believing the subscription will stop. This does not cancel billing - cancellation must be done via the App Store, Google Play or the LingQ website depending on where you subscribed.
Contacting the wrong support channel
Requesting a refund from LingQ for an App Store purchase will usually not work; Apple controls App Store refunds. Always check which store processed your payment first.
Missing refund windows
Delaying a refund request can lose eligibility. Web refunds are typically requested within 30 days and some guarantees require action within that period.
