Cancel Pressreader: Easy Method
What is Pressreader
Overview
PressReader is a digital newsstand that provides access to thousands of newspapers and magazines from around the world.
It is available via the PressReader website, iOS and Android apps, and through participating libraries and institutions.
How users typically subscribe
Subscriptions may be purchased directly on the PressReader website or inside the mobile apps as in‑app purchases.
Purchases made in the iOS App Store or Google Play are managed by those platforms, not directly by PressReader.
How to cancel Pressreader
Cancel if purchased on the PressReader website
- Log in to your PressReader account at the website.
- Go to sections such as "Subscription", "Billing", "Payment", "Manage account" or "Settings".
- Follow the on‑screen prompts to cancel auto‑renewal or end your subscription.
- If you cannot cancel online, email care@pressreader.com requesting cancellation.
Cancel if purchased via iOS or Google Play
- For iOS (iPhone/iPad) subscriptions: open your Apple Account settings and turn off auto‑renewal there.
- Apple App Store listing: PressReader on the App Store.
- For Google Play subscriptions: cancel through your Google Play account; PressReader does not manage Play purchases.
- Reference on Google Play cancellations: guide linked for Play cancellations.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, your subscription will typically remain active until the end of the current paid period.
You will continue to have access to paid content until that expiry date unless platform rules state otherwise.
Renewal and billing
Auto‑renewal will be disabled after cancellation if you follow the correct platform or account steps.
If you purchased via Apple or Google Play, those platforms handle future billing and renewals.
Account and data
Cancelling a subscription does not necessarily delete your PressReader account or stored preferences.
To remove personal data or payment details, contact PressReader support or follow account deletion steps if available.
Will I get a refund?
General refund position
PressReader does not publish an explicit 14‑day change‑of‑mind refund policy in its publicly available terms.
As a result, refunds are likely limited and handled case by case or as required by platform rules.
Platform exceptions and processes
- Apple and Google Play have their own refund processes and policies; if you purchased there, you must follow their procedures.
- For web purchases, requests for refunds can be made to PressReader support but are not automatically guaranteed.
Further reading and source
There is no indication of a statutory 14‑day consumer refund right on PressReader’s public pages.
For context on cancellation/refund clarity, see this reference: subscription cancellation rights.
Pressreader plans and pricing

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Key legal points
Under New Zealand consumer law there is no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off period for digital content unless the supplier offers one.
Refunds are required only if the service fails to meet guarantees, for example if it is not as described or is unavailable.
Practical implications for PressReader users
- Because PressReader does not advertise a 14‑day refund policy, you likely cannot rely on a statutory right to cancel for change of mind within 14 days.
- If a contract term is misleading or unfair, the Fair Trading Act could apply and you may have additional remedies.

Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users praise access via library accounts and the broad selection of publications.
Reviews describe the app as offering a strong reading experience with clear presentation.
Negative feedback
Several users report difficulty cancelling subscriptions or removing payment details, citing frustrating processes.
Complaints include unexpected charges, unclear billing notifications and problems securing refunds.
Practical takeaway
- Consider checking how you purchased (web, Apple, Google) before attempting cancellation.
- Keep records of cancellation attempts and any correspondence in case you need evidence to dispute charges.
Documentation checklist
What to have before you cancel
- Account email and username used for the PressReader account.
- Order receipt, subscription confirmation or transaction ID (from email or app store receipt).
- Date of purchase and the billing method used (Credit card, Apple ID, Google account).
What to save after cancelling
- Screenshot or confirmation message showing auto‑renewal disabled or cancellation completed.
- Email correspondence with PressReader support, if applicable.
Common mistakes
Canceling in the wrong place
Users sometimes try to cancel on the PressReader website when the subscription was bought through Apple or Google.
If you bought via the App Store or Google Play you must cancel in those platform accounts, or billing will continue.
Not saving proof of cancellation
Failing to save confirmation or a screenshot can make disputes about renewed billing harder to resolve.
Always keep receipts and any cancellation emails for at least a few billing cycles.
Assuming an automatic refund
Many expect a 14‑day automatic refund for change of mind; PressReader does not publish such a right.
Do not assume you will receive a refund without confirming the applicable platform or vendor policy first.
