Cancel Runtastic: Easy Method
What is Runtastic
Overview
Runtastic (also known as adidas Running) is a fitness app for tracking runs, walks and workouts using GPS, providing stats, voice feedback and integrations such as Apple Watch support.
The app offers a free tier and a Premium subscription that unlocks advanced training plans, detailed metrics and coaching features.
Where it is used
Runtastic is available on mobile platforms (iOS and Android) and via the web platform; subscriptions can be purchased through the app stores or directly via the Runtastic/adidas Running website.
Functionality and subscription management vary depending on how you bought the subscription (direct, Apple App Store, Google Play).
How to cancel Runtastic
Cancel if you subscribed directly on the web
- Sign in to your Runtastic / adidas Running account on the web or in-app.
- Open account or subscription settings and choose to cancel the Premium subscription.
- Follow on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation; keep a screenshot or confirmation email for your records.
Cancel if you subscribed via App Store or Google Play
- Apple App Store (iOS): Cancel via your Apple ID subscription settings - Runtastic cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you.
- Google Play (Android): Cancel the subscription from your Google Play account subscriptions to stop auto‑renewal.
- If you need help from the store, contact Apple Support or Google Play Help for account-level assistance.
What happens when you cancel
Access and renewal
After cancellation your paid subscription will typically remain active until the end of the current billing period.
Auto-renewal is stopped so you will not be charged again after the period ends.
Account and data
Your Runtastic/adidas Running account remains active as a free account unless you delete it explicitly.
Export or back up any personal activity data before cancelling if you want local copies; check the app for export options.
Will I get a refund?
Runtastic refund policy
Runtastic’s terms state that paid amounts are generally non‑refundable except where explicitly stated (for example, if the app or service is discontinued).
In some discontinuation cases, a pro‑rata refund may be granted according to Runtastic’s terms.
Right of withdrawal and exceptions
- Austrian/EU practice: Runtastic provides a 14‑day withdrawal right for consumers entering agreements online; Runtastic may require proportional reimbursement for services already used.
- Purchases via Apple or Google are subject to store refund processes and store terms; Runtastic cannot directly refund store transactions in most cases.
- In New Zealand, consumer protection laws (see next section) may affect refund entitlement for faulty or misrepresented services.
Runtastic plans and pricing
Summary of common plans
The table below summarises typical Runtastic/adidas Running Premium offerings and sample prices reported publicly.
Price notes
App Store prices are often displayed in USD and converted at checkout; official NZD in‑App Store pricing can vary.
Retail vouchers (third‑party) may have fixed NZD prices and differ from in‑app or direct web offers.
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription (App Store) | approx. US$9.99 | Monthly | adidas Running Premium (full features) |
| Annual subscription (App Store) | approx. US$49.99 | Annual | adidas Running Premium (full features) |
| 3‑Month Premium Voucher (retailer) | NZ$106.00 | 3 Months | adidas Running & adidas Training Premium access |
Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) basics
Under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill and be fit for purpose.
If the service is faulty or not as advertised, you may be entitled to remedies such as a fix, replacement or refund depending on the issue.
How international terms interact with NZ law
Runtastic’s published 14‑day withdrawal aligns with EU/Austrian practice but is not a substitute for NZ statutory rights under the CGA.
If you bought through Apple or Google, you may need to combine CGA claims with the store’s support/refund processes to resolve disputes.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Many users praise accurate tracking, intuitive UI, helpful voice feedback and good Apple Watch integration.
- Detailed stats and coaching features are commonly highlighted as strengths of the Premium tier.
Negative feedback
- Reported issues include GPS and distance accuracy problems, high battery use, app instability and crashes.
- Some users report frustration with subscription changes after the adidas acquisition, restricted free features and difficulties contacting support.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before you cancel
- Account email and username used for Runtastic/adidas Running.
- Proof of purchase: App Store/Google Play receipt or web payment confirmation.
- Subscription ID or order number (if available).
Supporting items to keep
- Screenshots of subscription status or billing details in the app.
- Transaction dates and amounts shown on your bank or card statement.
- Device type and app version if you plan to report a technical problem.
Common mistakes
Wrong cancellation channel
Example: Trying to cancel an App Store subscription inside the Runtastic app - Apple subscriptions must be cancelled via your Apple ID settings.
This is a common error that leaves auto‑renew active despite attempts inside the app.
Deleting the app before cancelling
Example: Removing the app and assuming the subscription is cancelled - deleting the app does not stop app‑store or direct web subscriptions.
Always cancel via the store or account subscription settings and keep confirmation of cancellation.
