What is Brainbloom
Overview
Brainbloom is a subscription-based app that provides mental health and wellbeing content through guided programs and features. It is available on mobile platforms and via a website subscription.
Where it is sold
Subscriptions are commonly purchased through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly on Brainbloom's website. How you bought the subscription determines how you cancel and request refunds.

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, you usually retain access until the end of the current paid period. The subscription will not renew after that expiry date.
Automatic renewal and billing
Cancellations stop automatic renewal; they do not always trigger an immediate refund. Billing is managed by the store where you bought the subscription (Google, Apple) or by Brainbloom for website purchases.
Data and account status
Cancelling a subscription does not necessarily delete your account or personal data. If you want data deleted, contact [email protected] and request account removal.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
General legal rights
New Zealand consumer protections come from laws such as the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act. These cover whether a service is provided with reasonable care and fit for purpose.
Cooling-off and refunds
There is no explicit 14-day cooling-off or statutory refund policy stated in Brainbloom’s Help Center or Terms. Refunds depend on the purchase channel and Brainbloom’s or platform providers’ policies.
Where to seek help
If you believe your consumer rights are not being respected, contact Consumer Protection or the Commerce Commission in NZ, or seek independent advice from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand.
Customer experiences
Reported negative experiences
Some user reports indicate problems with billing after cancellation. A TrustPilot review (Australia) claims continued charges despite following cancellation steps and a refusal of refunds.
Third-party site checks (ScamAdviser, Scam Detector) have flagged potential trust or risk issues with the brainbloom.me domain.
Balance and context
App store purchases are processed by Google or Apple, so many cancellation and refund issues are resolved through those platforms. Experiences vary by user and purchase method.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Purchase receipt or order confirmation (email or App Store/Play Store invoice).
- Account email used with Brainbloom and the platform (Apple/Google).
- Order ID or transaction ID from Apple/Google receipts if available.
- Screenshots showing subscription status, billing dates, and any cancellation attempts.
- Dates and copies of any messages exchanged with Brainbloom support.
Why this helps
- Clear documentation speeds up verification and refund decisions.
- It helps platform support (Apple/Google) or Brainbloom locate the transaction quickly.
Common mistakes
Canceling the wrong way
Many users assume cancelling inside the app or the website will stop charges from an App Store/Play Store purchase. If you bought via Apple or Google, you must cancel through that store.
Missing auto-renewal deadlines
Waiting until after the renewal date can make refunds less likely. Check the billing date on your receipt and cancel before the next billing cycle to avoid being charged again.
Not keeping records
Without receipts or screenshots, proving dates and actions is harder. Save confirmation emails and take screenshots of subscription pages and cancellation confirmations.
