What is I Can Read
Overview
I Can Read is a digital reading programme and app that provides literacy resources and guided reading materials for children and families.
It is used by schools, tutors and parents to support reading development through structured lessons and activities.

How to cancel I Can Read
If you subscribed via Apple App Store
- On your iPhone/iPad go to Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions and find your I Can Read subscription.
- Select Cancel Subscription and confirm. Deleting the app or account does not cancel billing.
- You will keep access until the end of the paid period. For refunds, you must request them via Apple (see refund section).
If you subscribed via Google Play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Find the I Can Read subscription and tap Cancel subscription, then follow prompts to confirm.
- Removing the app does not stop billing. Access remains until the current paid period ends.
If you subscribed via the I Can Read website
- Log in to your account on the I Can Read Online website and go to account or subscription settings.
- Choose the option to cancel; you can cancel at any time and keep access until the paid period finishes.
- Refunds for website subscriptions follow I Can Read's refund policy (see links below).
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, you retain access to paid features until the end of the current billing period.
Your subscription will not renew after that period unless you re-subscribe through the same platform.
Account data and renewal
Canceling does not necessarily delete your account or personal data; data retention and deletion follow the provider's policies.
- If you later re-subscribe on the same account, your previous settings or progress may be restored depending on data retention rules.
- Check the account settings or contact support if you want account deletion in addition to cancellation.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Statutory protections
Under New Zealand law, including the Consumer Guarantees Act, consumers have rights when a digital service fails to meet acceptable quality or description.
Platform or seller refund policies cannot override these statutory rights.
How to seek remedies
- If the service is faulty or not as described, you may be entitled to a remedy such as a repair, replacement, or refund under NZ consumer protection laws.
- Keep records of purchase, correspondence and screenshots when making a claim with the seller or a consumer agency.
Customer experiences
Public review availability
No Trustpilot or ProductReview NZ data specifically for "I Can Read Online" or the "I Can Read" subscription product was located.
This suggests either limited public listing or absence of prominent user reviews on those platforms.
What users commonly report
Where feedback exists for similar apps, common themes include ease of cancelling via platform stores and occasional confusion about refund responsibility.
Expect to follow store-specific processes for cancellations and refunds when you subscribed via an app store.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before you cancel
- Proof of purchase (receipt or order confirmation).
- Account email or username used to subscribe.
- Date of purchase and subscription renewal dates.
What to include in refund requests or complaints
- Clear statement of the issue and the remedy you want (refund or cancellation confirmation).
- Relevant screenshots, transaction IDs and any message history with support.
Common mistakes
Deleting the app but not cancelling
Many users assume deleting the app also cancels the subscription; it does not. Billing continues until you cancel via your platform subscription settings.
Always cancel through Apple ID subscriptions, Google Play subscriptions, or the web account, depending on your purchase method.
Missing refund windows or wrong contact point
Requesting a refund from the app developer for an App Store or Google Play purchase will usually not succeed because Apple and Google control those transactions.
Submit refund requests to the correct platform (Apple or Google) within their refund window, and keep records of your request.
